We've been down that deficit road before. But our strong economic growth allows us to do more without compromising our honestly balanced budget. Look, I get it. Many of you over here want to add a 500 million dollar tax cut. And folks over here want 500 million dollar tax credits. And that just leaves deficits in future years. We've been down that road before. We'll figure out how to pay for it. Been there, done that. Not again. (08:38–08:47)
