"Now, plenty of politicians talk a good game..."

"Now, plenty of politicians talk a good game about low taxes, and some even claim to want to decrease spending as well.  Few seem to mean it, if their voting records are any indication.  But if we want more economic freedom and a healthy and robust economy, serious inroads need to be made into federal spending.  Otherwise, tax cuts will simply lead to more borrowing, more inflation, and the continued decline of the dollar.  As I write [2008], we are paying about $1.4 billion every day just for the interest on the national debt.  Because our government refuses to live within its means, every single day we spend $1.4 billion and receive absolutely nothing in return." -Pages 80 & 81 of The Revolution, A Manifesto
