On the recordOctober 1, 1998
I would point out one other fact that I hope that American citizens will keep in mind. When the President of the United States graced us with his presence and stood at the podium behind us here, he not only said that every penny should go to save Social Security, we should save Social Security first, but sadly his actions failed to reconcile with that promise. For, even as he made that promise from the podium behind us here, he subsequently spent almost $3 billion in Bosnia, which points up the other basic truth of the pitfall of the great debate that continues in this chamber and across America. As my constituents tell me, the sad fact is, if we leave money in Washington, Washington spends the money. It belongs to the American people and that is money that should return to their pockets.
