Excerpt from The President's Budget Proposals for Fiscal Year 1994: Hearing Before the Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, Hearing Held in Washington, DC, March 5, 1993 I really believe that this year we are at a turning point in eco nomic history. The American people very much want change, but at the same time I think they are very skeptical about our ability to deliver it. I think we have an opportunity for the first time in a long time to try to reverse the decline in middle class fortunes, and I think our job ought to be to focus on that. I don't think our principal goal ought to be to chase numbers. I think we ought to try to determine policy and not become a prison er of the very system that we have created to help us define policy.
