Political Quotes

“according to the President's Commission on Entitlements, in about a decade all Federal revenues will be consumed by entitlements and interest on the debt. At that point, the Federal Government will cease to exist as we know it: no defense, no law enforcement, no education, no anything outside of entitlements and debt service. The fact is, there is a problem with Medicare. By the year 2002, the funds will be out completely. What could we do about that? We can work together, Republicans and Democrats together, to make sure that we help our seniors, to make sure that Medicare is sound and safe and protected. The fact is, the Republicans do have a plan. We will be presenting it. We do expect to have the American people embrace it, because it is one that is sensitive to families, sensitive to our children, sensitive to senior citizens, and one that will provide the kind of health care that Americans have come to expect. The fact is, Republicans will lead the way to protect, preserve, and to protect Medicare, and to work with senior citizen organizations and their families to make sure that Medicare is protected. We guarantee that. We will work on it every day. So help me God, it will be accomplished.”
