Someone will have to refresh my age-debilitated memory for a name but
Reagan's onetime Budget Director, the fellow Reagan took to the woodshed for
spilling the beans, wrote a fascinating book about Reagan. He was worried
about the budget deficit and made an appointment with Reagan. The
conversation went this way.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: I am worried about the budge deficit.
REAGAN: I am too.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: Our defense expenditures are rising rapidly.
REAGAN: We need a strong defense.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: And we are cutting taxes.
REAGAN: That's good.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: And our deficit is getting worse.
REAGAN: I am against deficits.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: But then you see our defense costs are going up.
REAGAN: I have always been for a strong defense.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: And our tax revenues are declining.
REAGAN: That's good.
BUDGET DIRECTOR: But our budget deficit...
REAGAN: I have always been against deficits.
Yeah, Sue, Reagan is believable when he says he didn't know what was going
on. He never did. The only time he really got upset was when he found the
number of his new address was 666. He managed to get it changed to 665 1/2
to save himself and Nancy from the Great Satan.
Best, Terry
