PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON
REMARKS ON THE BUDGET
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
May 2,1997
GoocUmoming. We have an historic opportunity to come together around a plan that will
propel America into the 21st Century with its economy growing and opportunity expanding.
From this podium, and all across the country, I have told the American people that I
want a balanced budget that reflects our values - a balanced budget that protects
Medicare and Medicaid, expands investment in education, and protects the environment.
I am very pleased to report that today I have reached agreement with Congressional
leaders: we will balance the budget by 2002, and we will do it in a way that invests in our
people and reflects our values. This will be America's first balanced budget in three
decades. And it is one that will be good for our nation, our economy, and our people.
This plan reflects a continuation of our economic strategy, which I put in place when I ^
took office four and a half years ago. At a time of stagnation, exploding deficits and h m l j ^ '
unemployment, I believed we needed to reduce the deficit, expand exports throughjetlgh trade
agreements, and invest in the skills of our people. Thanks in large measure to difficult decisions
we made in 1993, we have already cut the budget deficit from $290 billion tofiffd billion. Today
we learned that unemployment has dropped to 4.9%, the lowest it has been in 24 years.
Economic growth is at its highest in a decade. Core inflation is at its lowest in three decades.
We have seen the largest decline in income inequaltiy since the 1960s. And thanks to the hard
work of the American people, our economy has created 12 million new jobs.

Our strategy is working. Now we can keep the economy growing, steady and strong, by ^ * ^
enacting into law this bipartisan budget plan. Here is what it will do.

First, this plan will protect Medicare, extending the life of the trust^dmd for a decade. It
will extend new benefits to our parents, paying for annual mammogram^and roopito caro for
familicc of Alzhumei's patients. [ will

Second, it meets my goal of making education our number one priority with the largest
increase in education funding in 30 years. As I have said so often, our goal must be for every 8
year old to be able to read independently, every 12 year old to log on to the Internet, and for
every 18 year old to be able to go to college. This balanced budget plan goes far toward meeting
these education goals. It increases college scholarships, funds our America Reads challenge to
recruit 1 million volunteer reading tutors, and perhaps most important, ii will give families a
$10,000 tax deduction and :WH000 Lix tmlii r.
our Hope Scholarship tax cut for the
first two years of college.
