[Vision2020] Say What?

[Ron Force]

It's from Paul O'Neil's (Bush's first Treasury Secretary) book The Price of 
Loyalty. here's a quote from a review:


In another meeting, this one on tax policy, Vice President Cheney  -- depicted 
as the power behind the throne of a disengaged and clueless  president -- 
proposed a 50 percent cut in the individual tax on  dividends. Mr. O'Neill says 
he ''jumped in, arguing sharply that the  government 'is moving toward a fiscal 
crisis,' '' pointing out ''what  rising deficits will mean to our economic and 
fiscal soundness.'' 

But Mr. Cheney was uninterested in such goo-goo concerns, Mr.  O'Neill recounts, 
quoting him: ''Reagan proved deficits don't matter. We  won the midterms. This 
is our due.'' Mr. O'Neill professes he left Mr.  Cheney's office ''in a state of 
mild shock.'' He knew Mr. Rove and  others believed this ideology, but ''to hear 
it from the vice president  seemed to stop the world turning. The inscrutable 
Dick had finally shown  himself.''

My guess is that this is misleading. How about supplying the context in which it 
was made?
