BILL WHITE

Never in the nation’s history had a president proposed large, simultaneous spending increases and tax cuts when the federal budget already had a deficit.

American economic history does not support the idea that a strong economy depends on chronic federal borrowing.

The nation is in a situation similar to that of an employee who receives annual pay raises but cannot improve his or her standard of living because of the need to pay rising debt service to creditors.

The nation’s founding fathers deferred many of their own cherished plans until the nation paid off its debts.
