"We have been told here that we ought to balance the budget. It has become a sort of shibboleth, a sacred slogan in the last few weeks. Although, for 150 years as a nation, we did without a budget and did not know what a budget was, no that we have one we do not know what to do with. We can not balance it and we can not leave it unbalanced." - Senator Alben Barkley (D-KY) (above)
