hide'\u003eEnglish/Nat\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking during his last State of the Union Address, U-S President Bill Clinton  proposed a 350 (b) billion dollar tax cut and big spending increases for schools and  health care on Thursday.\u003cbr/\u003eThis amounted to the final agenda of his presidency.\u003cbr/\u003eClinton said that next month the United States will achieve the longest period of  economic growth in its history. \u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking before a joint session of Congress, he called on Americans to \"set great  goals for our nation\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe president also proposed a gun-licensing plan that would require congressional  action.\u003cbr/\u003eRepublicans responding to Clinton's address argued they have proposed bigger tax cuts  and better approaches to improving health care and education.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president offered a long litany of initiatives, many of them sure to be rewritten or  ignored by an election-year Congress. \u003cbr/\u003eHis tax cut proposals were intended primarily to promote educational opportunities and  expand health insurance and child care.\u003cbr/\u003eRepublicans ridiculed Clinton's proposals but did not rule out working with him on such  issues as education and health care.\u003cbr/\u003eMany of Clinton's proposals were repackaged from earlier years and, in some cases,  resubmitted with spending figures double or triple the original amount.\u003cbr/\u003eClinton boasted that the nation has been lifted from economic distress, social decline  and political gridlock.\u003cbr/\u003eClinton's tax program includes marriage penalty relief, tax deductions of up to two  thousand eight hundred dollars annually per family for college tuition and fees and  retirement savings accounts for low and moderate-income families. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also proposed steps to encourage charitable giving.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president's tax package joined a mix of proposals urged by Republicans and  Democrats as both sides battle for control of Congress and the White House.\u003cbr/\u003eSmarting from Clinton's veto of their 792 (B) billion dollar tax-cut package last year,  House Republicans are\u003cbr/\u003edrafting their own version of educational tax breaks and marriage penalty relief this year.  \u003cbr/\u003ePresidential candidates have their own proposals, too.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president's tax package would cost 350 (B) billion dollars over ten years. \u003cbr/\u003eHowever, his plan envisions cutting that price tag by a hundred (B) billion dollars by  closing tax havens, shelters and loopholes. \u003cbr/\u003eCongress has previously rejected many of those ideas on grounds they are tax  increases.\u003cbr/\u003eClinton urged Congress to give China permanent normal trading relations with the  United States. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also asked for one-point-six (B) billion dollars for Colombia to fight narcotics  traffickers.\u003cbr/\u003eThe booming economy and swelling tax revenues give Clinton and Republicans a big  purse for any tax reductions or spending increases. \u003cbr/\u003eBoth sides claim they are dedicated to protecting Social Security and eliminating the  national debt.\u003cbr/\u003eLike the president, first-term Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Bill Frist of  Tennessee said their party stands for protecting Social Security, extending health  insurance to more Americans, eliminating the national debt and ensuring that Medicare  beneficiaries have access to prescription drugs.\u003cbr/\u003eBut they said these goals must be accomplished without an explosion of federal  spending and new bureaucracies.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"We began the new century with over 20 million new jobs, the fastest economic growth  in thirty years, the lowest unemployment rates in 20 years, the lowest African-American  and Hispanic rates on record, the first  surpluses in over 40 years and next month  America will achieve the longest period of economic growth in our entire history.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"To 21st century America, let us pledge these things: Every child will begin school  ready to learn and graduate ready to succeed; every family will be able to succeed at  home and at work and no child will be raised in poverty.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"We will meet the challenge of the ageing of America - we will assure quality affordable  health care at last for all Americans.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"We will make America the safest big country on earth.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"We will pay off our national debt for the first time since 1945.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Tonight I ask you to work with me to make a bi-partisan down-payment on social  security reform by crediting the interest savings on debt reduction to the social security  trust fund, so it will be strong and sound for the next 50 years.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"So I propose a landmark 30 billion dollar college opportunity tax cut on middle class  tax reduction for up to ten thousand dollars in college tuition costs.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Every state in this country already requires hunters and automobile drivers to have a  license. I think they ought to do the same thing for hand-gun purchases. Specifically I  propose a plan to ensure that all new hand-gun buyers first have a photo license from  their state showing they passed a Brady background check and a gun safety course  before they get the gun. I hope you'll hope me pass that.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Now tonight, 84 months later, the president has unveiled a similar plan, just as bad as  the first. It makes government even bigger and more bloated because each new  proposal we heard tonight, and there were about 11 for health-care alone, comes with  its own massive bureaucracy. And each will cost you, the tax-payer billions more in  your tax dollars. More than a thousand dollars for every man, woman and child.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Senator Bill Frist, Republican from Tennessee\u003cbr/\u003eWashington DC, USA - January 27, 2000 \u003cbr/\u003e1.
