within a decade, entitlements and interest will consume the entire national debt, and the President has presented no balanced budget, and the Clinton Democrats across the aisle have continued the status quo. The Republicans have announced a plan to balance the budget and to protect our children's future, and the Democrats have announced yesterday that they have no plan. Well, let me tell you, folks, here is their plan. Right here is what they do on Medicare to save it. Right down here is what they do to protect our children. Right down here is what they do to provide tax relief for working families. Folks, there is no plan. That is the fact. The Republicans have a plan, a plan to balance the budget, protect our children's future and to protect, preserve, and improve Medicare. The Republicans are willing to stand up to the plate and be counted and protect our future. The Democrats have their plan right here. Take a look.
