Paul Begala actually said...
He said something that's unusual for a politician. He said, you know, if the deficit is larger than we're projecting, I'll trim back on my new spending initiatives. I wish the president would be as responsible and trim back on some of his tax cuts for the rich, which is what has driven us in this hole.
Context
Begala criticizes President Bush's tax cuts and highlights John Kerry's willingness to adjust spending based on the deficit.
