More From Rob Portman

This is the first time a newly inaugurated president has had any impact on a current budget." what that means is that normally when a president's inaugurated in january, the budget for the first calendar year of his term or the first nine months is already done. so from january 21st all the way 'til october when the new budget's done, the president has to deal with the previous congress' budget and has nothing to say about it. what they're saying is that donald trump has had a record-breaking, never-before-seen thing by having an impact on the budget in his first year.
Mean President Done
I'm pleased that i've balanced budgets. i was on the world of business for 25 years. if you didn't balance your budget, you went out of business. i went into the olympics that was out of balance, and we got it on balance, and made a success there. i had the chance to be governor of a state. four years in a row, democrats and republicans came together to balance the budget. we cut taxes 19 times and balanced our budget.
Cutting Years Balance
What i learned, more than anything, was that you can't have it all balanced perfectly at any one time. when i was young, it was much more balanced toward work. when i had my children, it was much more balanced toward love and family, and i didn't get a lot of work done. so you can't ask of it to be perfectly balanced at any time, but your hope is, before you die, you've somehow had each of those spheres come to life. that's probably more important than success in any one of those spheres alone.
Children Important Spheres
Not in the constitution, but i would propose a law to the french parliament that provides for reducing the budget deficit year by year, until we have reached a balanced budget by 2017.
Years Law Constitution
Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.
Summer Autumn Winter
We don't need more politicians insisting we have deficits because you're not taxed enough. those deficits ballooned from an economy that didn't grow enough and from 50 years of government spending too much.
Government Years Too Much
