Thirty years from now, $20,000 won't even buy a Popsicle; we've got to stop spending, taxes are too high.

The writers who have nothing to say, are the ones you can buy, the others have too high a price

As we peer into society's future, we -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.

Voters want conflicting things. They want a lot of government spending, but they don't want higher taxes.

Mr. Reagan will raise taxes; and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did.

If it happens, it happens, ... We can't stop living.
