We are very pleased to be recognized by this prestigious festival. To help strengthen America's families, Gore will use the nation's prosperity to invest in public schools, make higher education more affordable and protect Social Security. I know government can't solve a family's problems.
Parents have to take more responsibility, and spend more time with their children.
That's what I'm fighting for. His plan would help families afford child care, pay for college and save for retirement. Gore would devote the largest share of the surplus to paying down the national debt and eliminating the debt by 2012. Debt reduction would help keep interest rates low to help families pay home mortgages and student and car loans. This massive tax cut also leaves few resources to improve education, help families pay for college costs or child-care costs.
