Political Quotes

“I have moved away from the term ``balanced budget''. When you are talking about $1.6 trillion, $1.5, we will never get it into balance. In reality, we will either be at deficit or we will be at surplus. And I think it is important for us to move to a position where we are in a surplus budget and not in a deficit mode.

And over the last number of years, it may have become more appropriate to call it Dependence Avenue.”
