“I thought about characterizing the Republican budget as a bad budget, but that is not really right, because it is not a budget, it is a ``fudget.'' It fudges cuts in veterans affairs, it fudges the tax cut you cannot reconcile yourself to, and it fudges the biggest deficit in American history. I thought about characterizing it as a budget fit for the Titanic, because we do have a disaster in the economy, a surplus turned into a deficit, the largest unemployment for years. But it is really not a Titanic budget, because the captain of the Titanic only rammed the iceberg once. You want to do these tax cuts twice in the hopes the iceberg will sink. You made a mistake. You ought to face it. Let us defeat this budget.”
