"There have been a lot of questions about the accounting behind the President's budget, and I think that we need to underscore a very, very basic point. Every dollar that's in the unified budget surplus can only be spent once. It's either going to go to a tax cut or a spending increase; to debt reduction, or to what the President has proposed, which is both debt reduction and setting aside assets for Social Security and Medicare."
Jack Lew, Director, Office of Management and Budget 2/1/99
