“the same people who told us again and again and again just 2 years ago that Congress could not cut taxes and balance the budget were wrong. Congress cut taxes, and the budget is actually now in surplus. Well, the same people now are telling us that we cannot cut taxes and strengthen Social Security at the same time. Well, of course we can. The same people who are defending the President's budget, which loots the Social Security trust fund to the tune of $30 billion on new Washington-based social programs and double counts $2.4 trillion in Social Security, are criticizing the Republican plan to strengthen Social Security, cut taxes and pay down the debt. Well, the naysayers are wrong. The Republican plan will accomplish three important goals. It will strengthen Social Security, it will refund middle-class taxpayers some of the government overcharge, and it will start to chip away at the national debt, which means lower interest rates and good economic times for people trying to make ends meet.”
