“let me take from Stephen Moore's article this morning some of the examples he used as to what all of this means, because I really do believe that every Senator has been lost in the woods of trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars and no longer do we really understand what it means for this President to come forth with a budget of $1.6 trillion. And we turn and say, Mr. President, what does that mean? What kind of impact will that have on the economy of this country? What does it mean to every American? Well, you heard the chairman of the Judiciary Committee say it meant a debt structure per capita in this country, per individual citizen, going from $18,000 to $26,000. Here is another figure: A $1.6 trillion budget is representative of spending $23,000 for every household in America. Can you imagine that this President is saying to every American who owns a home or household--and that could be an apartment--that this Government is going to spend $23,000 per household? Well, that is what this $1.6 trillion budget represents.”
