“Let me just jump in here for one second. I want to make sure the American people understand. We do not really care who gets the credit. Right now what we are concerned about is our grandchildren, because if we steal social security money and we allow the government to grow in terms of new programs, our children, our grandchildren have very limited futures. So it does not matter. We did our job and we worked hard to try to slow the growth, but I want the American public to know that we do not have to have credit for it. The thing we want credit for is for our children a generation from now to be able to have an opportunity to have a standard of living at least to the level of the average standard of living in this country today.”
