For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children’s future for the temporary convenience of the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals. You and I as individuals can by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why then should think that collectively as a nation we are not bound by that same limitation. We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. If look to the answer, as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth…it was because here in this land, we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here, than in any other place on Earth. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone. We’re not as some would have us believe doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow (Reagan, 1981).
