Reagan's deficits are poisoning today's economy and stealing our children's that will be We are gambling with inflation and guaranteeing a reply to high interest rates. Democrats must have guts: to be opposite to the health establishment and command costs; to reform farm programs and defend family farms; to stop purchasing each gold-plated weapons system the Pentagon wants and to replace on a level the best-intentioned programs when they no longer work.

To invest--and I will--in worker training, public education and R&D infrastructure and aid to the poor we have to have additional receipts without income tax increases in succession the poor or the middle class.
