How Fast?
(via sekmet )
My budget blueprint will restrain spending, yet meet growing needs with a reasonable 4 percent growth rate, which is a little more than inflation. After paying the bills, my plan reduces the national debt, and fast. So fast, in fact, that economists worry that we’re going to run out of debt to retire. That would be a good worry to have.
— George W. Bush (Radio Address by the President to the Nation: February 24, 2001)
