On the recordJune 7, 1996
But that is not responsive to my question. The Chafee- Breaux budget falls short of balancing the budget, if you are going to actually save the Social Security trust funds. And so does President Clinton's budget. They are not in balance, just as the majority party budget is not in balance. So my question is, is there a balance? We are using the Social Security trust funds improperly, or they are not in balance, they fall $108 billion short of being in balance.
