Цитата из речи одного политика:
We can not and will not sustain deficits like these without end. Contrary to the prevailing wisdom in Washington these past few years, we can not simply spend as we please and defer the consequences to the next budget, the next administration or the next generation. We are paying the price for these deficits right now. /.../ So if we confront this crisis without also confronting the deficits that helped cause it, we risk sinking into another crisis down the road as our interest payments rise, our obligations come due, confidence in our economy erodes and our children and grandchildren are unable to pursue their dreams because they are saddled with our debts.
Кто этот талантливый оратор и певец фискальной ответственности? Митт Ромни? Ньют Гингрич? Рон Пол? Этого ярого ненавистника дефицитов зовут Барак Обама, и свою речь в феврале 2009-го года он продолжил так:
That's why today I am pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy - it will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we have long neglected but I refuse to leave our children with a debt they can not repay. And that means taking responsibility right now in this administration, for getting our spending under control.
Заметим, что это была не предвыборная речь - когда политики в период гона оперируют в режиме "мало ли чего я на тебе обещал" - это речь уже избранного президента. Ну и вот что вышло:
