idrankwhat 0 #1 March 30, 2011 I seem to recall that a few times in the past that Republican leaders (at least two) have been quoted as saying that their goals were to spend money on their pet programs to the point that it strains the budget so that ultimately we'll have to defund entitlements. I think the first was back in the 80's and the second was some time in the 90's, maybe early 00's. Not having the exact quote or the name of the person is making the search a bit difficult. I'm guessing that the quote might come in handy some time over the next year or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern_Man 0 #2 March 30, 2011 I don't have an exact quote but I believe Nixon moved to change some government programs to direct cash handouts because he felt it would cause political backlash for some of the Great Society programs."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
