Gerald Ford actually said...

"The American people, for example, want a tax cut now."

"It seems to me, as I travel around the country, Americans see delay, Americans see division, lack of concerted action, and they don't like it."

"I have said, for example, that I am willing to compromise on a tax cut, and I repeat here this evening that I am willing and anxious to achieve some compromise in this area."

"It is my strong belief and deep conviction that we ought to get to work."
