In order to reduce the deficit, there has to be revenue in addition to cuts.

The goal is to reduce the size and scope of government spending, not to focus on the deficit. The deficit is the symptom of the disease.

The government deficit is the difference between the amount of money the government spends and the amount it has the nerve to collect.

When the economy is growing, there's a lot that can be done to deal with the deficit.

I have spoken about deficits, and I think deficits are important because they address broad economic and financial stability. We need to talk about that.

Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.

The best way to deal with the deficit is through economic growth.

Well, I think what we need to remember is that budget deficits can impede economic activity.

The deficit is the symptom, but spending is the disease.
