On the recordJanuary 28, 2003
It is not surprising. I think the value system for most of us has been we ought to try to have fiscal responsibility and balance the budget. I say to the head of the Office of Management and Budget, he ought to start hyperventilating. If he does not hyperventilate over this, I guess there is nothing that gets his heart rate or breathing up. When we talk about the issue of projected surpluses and then huge, suffocating budget deficits as far out as the eye can see, one better hyperventilate a little bit about that.
