The insane pursuit of the holy grail of a balanced budget in the end is going to drive the economy into a depression.

Deficits do not in themselves produce inflation, nor does a balanced budget assure a stable price level.

I'm for a balanced budget now.

Bush has never sent over a balanced budget.

I would submit a balanced budget if elected president, and it would be painful.

There is no real justification for a requirement that a budget of any sort should be balanced, except as a rallying point for those who seek to hamstring government.
