“I get excited when we get to this point, because all of a sudden we begin to understand that we are no longer in 1993, whining and crying that we cannot do anything other than raise taxes on the American people to solve government problems. All of a sudden, we understand that if we just get spending under control, we get our arms around some of this stuff and get it stopped, we can actually have this vision for the next generation, that the best days of America can be out in front of us instead of behind us. If we can start looking, if we think about this for a minute, at controlling spending to the point where we can start paying down the debt, when we pay down the debt, $1 out of every $6 this government spends does nothing but pay interest on the debt. As we pay down the debt, it is easier to put the money aside for Social Security that should be put away for Social Security, and all of a sudden Social Security is safe for our senior citizens. Of course, as we pay down the debt and the interest goes down all of a sudden, and we do not need that $1 out of $6, we can reduce the tax burden. Think about this vision for the next generation. We pay off the debt and give this Nation to our children debt-free. We stop stealing the Social Security money and in fact put the money back in that has been taken out. Social Security is safe and secure for our senior citizens.”
