“In fact, let me say it this way: Senator Phil Gramm from Texas said it so well earlier this year when he was accused by some of the administration, I think it may have been the President. He said, you know, if Phil Gramm's budget passes, it means that there is going to be less money spent on education, there is going to be less money spent on children, and there is going to be less money spent on nutrition. And he really said it right. He said this is not a debate about how much money is going to be spent on education, or children, or nutrition. This is a debate about who gets to do the spending. Ultimately, whether we are talking about housing policy, Medicare reform, all these others things we are talking about, the debate is about who gets to decide. Is it going to the American families or some magical bureaucrat here in Washington? We know it in our hearts, and I think the people understand this better than we sometimes give them credit for.”
