On the recordJune 6, 2006
It is a matter of priorities, I say to my friend, a matter of priorities, what is important to this administration. Obviously, it is not gas prices. Obviously, it is not college tax deduction. Obviously, it is not this debt. I say to my friend, even in our conversation this morning, we haven't talked about the stagnant debt. And remember, in the last 3 years of the Clinton administration, the national debt was paid down by half a trillion dollars approximately. What do we have here? Red ink as far as you can see. Have we heard anything from the President to lower this debt?
