George Bush actually said...

"What I don't want to do is come up with a growth package that just further burdens the American taxpayer."

"That's a very nice personal message, but I want to say with the journalists here that we are so respectful of everything you are trying to do there."

"When Federal regulations impose costs that exceed benefits, taxpayers, consumers, and businesses alike are adversely affected."

"This Nation must devote its maximum energies and capital to growth and prosperity, consistent with protection of health and safety and the environment."
