In a campaign ad in 2000, the Bush campaign announced:
"The Bush plan reserves $2 trillion of the surplus to protect and
strengthen Social Security and pay down the national debt. The rest
is dedicated to priorities--education, rebuilding our military, and
providing a real tax cut for every taxpayer."
