George W. Bush

Every terrorist we bring to justice makes our children and grandchildren safer.

At the State of the Union, I said there have been some interesting suggestions, all of them on the table.

I believe one of my responsibilities is to travel our country talking about problems and how we intend to solve them.

Our mission in Iraq is to continue to stand with the Iraqi Government.

I think it's important for people to be open about the truth when it comes to Social Security.

The true strength of America is the hearts and souls of our citizens.

I believe that younger workers ought to be able to set aside some of their own payroll taxes in what's called a personal retirement account.

I'm looking forward to working with Members of Congress to create the conditions for continued economic expansion.

There's enough money in the system to take care of the promises for those who have retired and those who are near retirement.

The Social Security trust is sound and solvent for people who are counting on the checks today.

The best way to reach that goal is through voluntary personal retirement accounts.

We must ensure that lower income Americans get the help they need to have dignity and peace of mind in their retirement.

We must pass reforms that solve the financial problems of Social Security once and for all.

Social Security was a great moral success of the 20th century, and we must honor its great purposes in this new century.

We must be good stewards of this economy, and renew the great institutions on which millions of our fellow citizens rely.

The state of our union is confident and strong.

I believe it's going to happen. I really do.

It's fine for those at or near retirement today; it's working fine.

We have to act soon, because if we act soon, then we can phase in any changes gradually.

Freedom is powerful.

We're not going to play politics with the issue.

I believe that it's a problem when you're $200 billion a year short.

We want to spread the peace.

I believe we were elected to solve these problems, and not pass them on.

The American response is so much more than what our Government agencies did.
