\nend result works. Look what happened to Bill Clinton. America has got
\nto get back into the future business.<\/i> We can’t do it if we keep
\nmortgaging our future to other countries … to
\nour children and grandchildren. Then I’ll tell them I’ll be careful.
\nI’ll do everything I can to help the old and the poor and we have to
\nchange the way we do health care. <\/p>\n
“We need more immigrants. We need to
\nreverse the age ratio. I see that
\nas part of fiscal responsibility. [Congress] need to pass something. I don’t

\nhad the right sort of value-added tax and had the right adjustments to
\nkeep the progressivity, it’d be really good. I’m not sure the
\ncommission will wind up recommending it. People in Europe use it its like any
