"A deficit is simply a future tax in the form either of debt or inflation."

"the sheer size of spending is unprecedented, both in its amount and as a percentage of GDP."

"my concern with this budget and the ideology that has produced it is that it takes us far from the fundamental principles that have produced the prosperity and freedom that Americans once enjoyed."

"Bill Clinton reached across the aisle in 1994 and declared that 'the era of big government is over.'"
