Their egos' are writing checks our bodies can't cash.

I thought I heard about somebody famous stating that reducing the deficit would be futile because, without a budget passed, there is no way to gauge that reduction. I heard it on the radio driving and will not attest to person or quote without the written text - if anyone heard this could you please confirm or deny because the way I heard it I about went off the road in fury.
