"It seems to me that some of us may have a fundamental difference in philosophy and perspective. The issue we face today is the tendency to place substantial revenues out of our reach, out of our investment strategy, and out of our future. The budget crisis is at least in part artificial and one which will be perpetuated if we do not act to change our investment strategy, continue our important savings programs and meet changing social and economic needs."
