“What we did is, we gave people back more of their own money, allowed them to invest that money in places like Dallas, Texas, where I live, Chicago, Illinois. And we have this robust economy that, since 2001, 5 million new jobs have been added. Tax receipts are up, 3 years ago, plus 8 percent over the year before; then plus 13 percent in this last year, plus 15 percent more than we had received the year before. We have more people at work today. More people own their own homes. There is more money being made, and the government has more money at its disposal. I hope and believe that next year this budget is going to be balanced.”
