Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 28, 1994
I do not intend to vote for the Simon resolution. I did not vote for the so-called balanced budget amendment in 1986. Mr. President, everything I have to say has probably been said dozens of times in the Chamber in the last week, but I did not say them, and I wish to. I wish to say also, nobody can deplore deficits with any greater degree of drama than I can. I have stood on this floor, until I felt I would drop, with amendments to cut the deficit, cut spending. And these charts that show all the red ink are accurate. Nobody knows it better than I do because I was here when the red ink started soaring under Ronald Reagan, the man who came to town to balance the budget and left town having tripled the national debt.
