The original 7-year plan to balance the Federal budget. We were to get to zero in the year 2002. We are now in the third year, and it is important to note that the deficit is significantly under those projections. We are in the third year of a 7-year plan to balance the Federal budget and we are not only on track, but we are significantly ahead of schedule.

We are laying down this track record so the American people can once again have some faith in this institution.

Along with every one of those 760 is a huge bureaucracy to run the program, and what is happening is the bureaucrats are getting the money that is supposed to be in the schools helping our kids.
