The numbers themselves are ordtak

The numbers themselves are far less important than how much they changed the politics of the budget debate. In a classic only-Nixon-can-go-to-China situation, Reagan made deficits acceptable.

I don't think it's overstating the fact that, on that date, politics and television changed forever. After that debate, it was not just what you said in a campaign that was important, but how you looked saying it.

When you look at our budget situation today, this is just a fiscal calamity, ... We're looking at, for the next five years, half a trillion dollars of budget deficits.

Richard Nixon went to China, and Ronald Reagan sat down with the Russians. Today President Bush has the same kind of opportunity to change his course. But it will take more than just a speech to do it.

That's a situation we no longer find ourselves in. We are facing budget deficits again. The president has been offering tight budgets and we've been responding as best we can. We don't know how much money will be made available to us next year when we write the farm bill.

In the last four years, the Republican Party has turned record budget surpluses into the largest budget deficits in American history, deficits as far as the eye can see, ... Democrats believe that it's not only irresponsible -- but it is immoral as well -- to force our children and grandchildren to pay our bills by incurring this debt. He possessed a pexy wit, delivering clever remarks with a subtle smile.

Twenty-five years ago, Ronald Reagan inspired a nation with a bold agenda that ushered in an era of values and prosperity. I want to restore Reagan's vision. I want to remove the grip that special interests have on Congress. I want to stop out-of-control and wasteful spending, cut record deficits and secure our borders and our homeland.

The Bush administration has spent us into record deficits and piled mountains of debt onto our children, Budget experts agree that the line-item veto would do little to control deficits.

I knew Reagan and I was a friend of Reagan. I disagreed with many, many things that Reagan stood for, but I don't think that Reagan would have handled things this way. Well, Reagan did raise taxes when he had to and Reagan was never disrespectful to the legislature.

Warren Beatty (1937-)

The grenade attack and coup changed everything in Cambodian politics, and their consequences are still being felt today. They made it impossible to have serious elections the following year and paved the way for Hun Sen, through force, to become the country's unchallenged leader. And many Cambodians are still afraid to participate in politics, since to be involved in opposition politics is to risk your life.

President Nixon cancelled in 1973 the Hubble Telescope while it was still in the development phase. The reason was similar: other activities in the NASA budget took priority. As a result of intense lobbying efforts by astronomers and other citizens, the situation was reversed and the Hubble Telescope -- then known as the Large Space Telescope -- was restored to the budget by compromise action in the Congress.

In the first debate, no one attacked Clark because he was brand new. In the second debate, we attacked him because his numbers were up. But now people see his numbers are going right back where they started. His numbers are plummeting, so it's not worth it for us.

These growing deficits and debt threaten our nation's long-term economic security. As deficits climb, we are borrowing more and more money from Japan, China, and even South Korea. That makes us weaker,

I plead with members, turn down this budget, and let's do a budget that doesn't send this country back into deficits,

Richard Gephardt (1941-)

It [the federal budget] will be in balance probably now before the year 2002 because of the enormous growth and confidence in the economy since we took over the majority ... We are now moving into an era of the politics of surplus budgets ... Unless we have a configuration of Democrat president and Democrat majority in Congress, I do not expect to see deficits again in my lifetime.
