The old solution, the old way, was to think that public money alone
could end these problems. But we have learned that that is not so.
And in any case, our funds are low. We have a deficit to bring down.
We have more will than wallet, but will is what we need. We will make
the hard choices, looking at what we have and perhaps allocating it
differently, making our decisions based on honest need and prudent
safety. And then we will do the wisest thing of all. We will turn to the
only resource we have that in times of need always grows: the
goodness and the courage of the American people.
