YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT SAID: You're not going to believe this, it's a true story -- or kind of true. (Laughter.) I said, will you marry me? She said, fine, just so long as I never have to give a speech. (Laughter.) I said, okay, you got a deal. (Laughter.) Fortunately, she didn't hold me to that promise.
And fortunately the American people are not holding him to a lot of other promises he has broken:
Tax cuts will be implemented without budget deficits, even in a recession
"...we can proceed with tax relief without fear of budget deficits, even if the economy softens. Projections for the surplus in my budget are cautious and conservative. They already assume an economic slowdown in the year 2001..."
Will not pass on our budget deficits (borrowings) to future generations; we owe this to our children and grandchildren"
"...We owe it to our children and grandchildren to act now, and I hope you will join me to pay down $2 trillion in debt during the next 10 years. At the end of those 10 years, we will have paid down all the debt that is available to retire..."
Will retire $2 Trillion national debt in 10 years
A promise made on safeguarding Social Security surplus will be a promise kept
"...The revenues exceed the expenses in Social Security to the year 2015, which means all retirees are going to get the promises made. So for those of you who [Gore] wants to scare into the voting booth to vote for him, hear me loud and clear:
A promise made will be a promise kept..."
Will never dip into Social Security Surplus to finance spending
"...For years, politicians in both parties have dipped into the Trust Fund to pay for more spending. And I will stop it..."
