I think that's something that always enticed me about the '40s - back then, the glamour and the style - you couldn't really make it up. You just were or you weren't.

There wasn't a whole lot of excess or flash to be flashy; it was real flash, and real excitement.

Milo Ventimiglia

It is my view that what is important is cutting government spending, however spending is financed. A so-called deficit is a disguised and hidden form of taxation.
