On the recordMarch 7, 2001
I have a grave concern that we don't have a budget. And, number two, when it comes to this $1.6 trillion tax cut, it relies on projections of $5.6 trillion over the next 10 years. Projections. My concern is that these projections, these economic projections, may also not materialize just like the snow did not. If that happens, we are going to be in deficit mode again. We owe it to our children, we have placed a $5.7 trillion mortgage on their future, to start to pay down our debt and live within our means.
