Gerald Ford actually said...

"Income and wealth are not produced in Washington, they are only redistributed there."

"The budget is the President's blueprint for the operation of the Government in the year ahead."

"There is no excuse, for example, for the Federal Government to have 15 different child nutrition programs spending over $3 billion per year and still have 700,000 children from families below the pove..."

"I am calling for legislation to halt this practice so that our budget system will fully reflect the financial activities of the Government."
