I was not going to balance the budgets on the backs of communities.
States should not balance their budgets on the backs of students.
For too long, unfunded federal mandates have drained the budgets of states and communities. The strength and vitality of our communities must be restored.
Just as we should never balance the budget on the backs of the poor, so it is an economic delusion to think you can balance it only on the wallets of the rich.
I'm pleased that I've balanced budgets. I was on the world of business for 25 years. If you didn't balance your budget, you went out of business.

You make budget cuts based on what you want to accomplish. You have to decide what is our priority going forward as a country. You cannot do it on the backs of any one group of people... There has to be some balance.
The budget idea, I may admit, is a sort of obsession with me. I believe in budgets. I want other people to believe in them.

Do you wonder, then, that at times I dream of balance sheets and sinking funds?

Budgets don't balance themselves, it takes fiscal discipline, and both the union and the government will have to show taxpayers that discipline.
I always want to encourage young artists. As the budgets get smaller, that might provide an opening for younger artists and more experimentation. Budgets had gotten quite large for art, as they had for architecture. I'm not going to cut back. The minute someone walks through my door, I go, "That's my thing and you got to let me do it."
Budgets that don't balance, public programs that aren't funded, pension funds that are running out of money, schools that aren't funded - How does that help anyone?
