Gerald Ford actually said...

"I submitted a budget for the third fiscal year which will cut the rate of growth in Federal spending by 50 percent."

"I won't concede a single State, I won't concede a single vote."

"I am proud to say that we have cut inflation by 50 percent in the past 2 years."

"I have held the line on Government spending with 66 vetoes and saved the hard-pressed American taxpayers more than $9 billion."
