“No question about it. I mean the interesting thing about--actually there are many interesting things about Mr. Dole's proposals--one of the interesting things about his proposal for an almost $550 billion tax cut comes about when people ask him how is he going to do that: How will you cut taxes by $550 billion? What are the programs specifically that you will cut? Well, he does not come up with specifics. He does not tell us what he is going to do. What he says is: ``Trust me, where there is a will, there is a way.'' And I have heard Jack Kemp say that exactly that way: Where there is a will, there is a way. And Bob Dole has the will; I do not doubt that. I do not doubt that for one moment. I am convinced that Bob Dole has the will to cut Medicare so that it no longer is able to serve our elderly citizens' health care needs, to gut Medicaid so that people who need health care, around-the-clock supervision in nursing homes, people who are elderly, frail elderly, people with total disabilities will be thrown out on the street. I do not doubt that he has the will to do that. I do not doubt, either, that he has the will to cut education, because they have tried to do it.”
