Harry Truman actually said...

I believe in operating the Government's finances on a sound basis.

Now, I would like to say a word to comfort and console those who fear that we are spending our way into national bankruptcy.

Over the last 5 years we have operated the Government with a surplus--a surplus of nearly $8 billion altogether.

The things I have mentioned add up to more than $60 billion out of the total estimated expenditures of $68 billion.
