Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation?” ThinkingShouldMeanChildrenLongPoliticalIndividualNationsSocialEconomicPeriodsOur ChildrenBoundsDecadesLimitationGuaranteesTemporaryTrendsOur FutureDeficitConvenienceBorrowingUpheaval Author:Ronald Reagan
