Thomas McClintock actually said...

"Coolidge, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton all cut spending relative to GDP."

"It seems to me they are two sides of the same coin, that deficits are taxes."

"The critical issue before us is the level of spending, since the level of spending automatically sets the combined level of current and future taxes."

"The greater restraint in spending, the greater overall economic growth these nations have had."
