That's a 28% increase in less than 10 years. Medicare and Medicaid are also untouchables in the federal budget, although in Clinton's new plan, he plans to cut the growth of both equally. While exact numbers aren't available for Medicaid, Medicare is soaring at the same rate as Social Security. Right now, Medicare costs about ... other projects. About $220 billion goes towards interest we pay on the debt, and as our national debt keeps rising so will this number. If the debt grows to the amount predicted by Leon Panetta, Clinton's Chief of Staff, $6401 billion, or to the size that some economists believe, in the excess of $7000 billion, this number will soar higher and higher each year.

- 115: Remains Of The Day
- ... illustrate the difference between the servant-master relationship in England and the more open relationships in the United States. There are, however, parallels between the butlers behavior and behavior by Americans in subservient positions. President Clinton s staff loyally and unquestioningly defended his first statements about the Monica Lewinsky affair as true. They placed their personal reputations on the line to serve Clinton and in turn, many undoubtedly believed, the country. When Clinton s statements were revealed as untrue, his staff was left humiliated and embarassed, their loyalty thrown away and abused. Stevens would have felt right at home in their position. However, Clinton s staff members ...

- 118: Presidential Candidates: Division and Classification
- ... world might he be?). Only a few people have a genuine chance of winning the coveted office, others could win if the world knew them, and still others ( I am convinced) run for our amusement.
