	Richard Nadler on Phil Gramm's retirement on National Review Online
		In subsequent years, Gramm settled into his role as a senior statesman, working with quiet effectiveness to deregulate financial institutions, increase the efficiency of markets, and balance the conflicting interests of employers and taxpayers on the delicate subject of immigration.
		Gramm believed that the destructive incursion of government into the realm of markets was unassailable as long as deficits concealed the true cost of government programs.
		He believed that a balanced budget rule, enforced by a sequester, would erode his colleagues' incentive to spend expand government in one of two ways: by training them to fiscal restraint, or by assuring their defeat if they raised taxes.

		Rumors are afloat that Gramm, who lost the chairmanship of the Senate Banking Committee when Democrats took control of the upper chamber earlier this year, will not run for reelection in 2002 now that the presidency of Texas A&M, where he once taught economics, is vacant.
		Gramm shares Helms’ unflagging commitment to conservative principle and willingness to oppose bad legislation even when alone- and more importantly, they share an effectiveness in working on behalf of their goals that often eludes ideologues.
		While Gramm is more reticent on social and cultural issues than Helms, he also lacks the North Carolinian’s troubling racial baggage from the civil rights struggles of the 1960s.

	Lost and found (5/9/01)
		That is what happened last week when two pages from the fiscal 2002 budget resolution conference report somehow got lost on the bill's way to the House floor and the numbers in the bill supposedly did not work.
		The leadership's fear is that support for the budget deal, which was relatively weak to begin with, is likely to diminish as the spending and tax specifics are considered.
		In fact, support for some of the general provisions in the budget resolution conference report were already under attack on a number of fronts last week.

	Sen. Phil Gramm says goodbye Human Events - Find Articles
		As Gramm's comments over the Hay-Adams breakfast table made obvious to me, he was much too conservative to prosper in the mid-1970s as a statewide Democratic candidate in Texas.
		After getting drubbed by Bentsen, however, Gramm came back two years later to be elected to Congress as a Democrat from a predominantly rural Texas district and was named to the House Budget Committee to represent what then was the still substantial Southern conservative Democratic fraction.
		Gramm made clear to me even in those early days that his election to the Senate in 1984 was viewed by him as only a way station en route to the Oval Office.

		Like the budget reforms that we seek, the tax package that will help stimulate the economy by providing capital investment to modernize and expand our industrial machine, individuals, even with husband and wife both working, have no surplus to put in savings accounts or insurance.

		The package of budget cuts would be swiftly picked apart if members of Congress perceived that they could save their pet programs, one by one, from the general reductions.
		The budget politics of 1981, which produced such clear and dramatic rhetoric from both sides, was, in fact, based upon a bewildering set of numbers that confused even those, like Stockman, who produced them.
		Latta thought that since he was a Republican, his name should go ahead of that of Phil Gramm, a Democrat, on the budget resolution: that it should be Latta-Gramm instead of Gramm-Latta.

	BW Online \| September 5, 2001 \| Why Phil Gramm Was Different -- and Better
		One of the last Cold Warriors, Gramm used to warn rural Texans that "Ivan" was on the doorstep and that we needed to defend ourselves with military aircraft made in Texas.
		Gramm had assembled a top-flight team for the 1996 campaign, but his strategy was dashed when Bob Dole, then the Senate Majority Leader, decided to make a kamikaze run at Bill Clinton.
		In Gramm's deep Georgia drawl (yes, he was a Georgian by birth but a Texan by choice), he would talk about the impact of policy decisions on "my momma." Yes, it was hokey.

		Gramm was asked a few month ago if he would run for reelection, he said, yes, he said, count me in.
		With Del Latta in 1981, I wrote the first Reagan budget -- the Gramm-Latta budget that rebuilt national defense and that laid the foundation for a program of peace through strength; the Reagan program that tore down the Berlin Wall, that liberated Eastern Europe, that transformed the Soviet Union and that changed the world.
		Bill, we normally see this tough Texan talking on and on about the budget, and today to see the emotional side of Phil Gramm, to hear how much he loved his work and how much he will miss it, it was rather touching.

		Gramm, who won the House election as a Democrat and later joined the Republican party, is expected to deliver a behind-the-scenes look into what drives or stalls the economy––with particular insight into the impact of current events and politics.
		Since retiring from the Senate, Gramm, who holds a Ph.D. in economics and is a former economics professor at Texas AandM, has become a vice chairman and an investment banker for UBS Investment Bank, one of the largest financial services firms in the world.

	Prentice Hall Documents Library: Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment (1995)
		While a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution may be the only way to keep us on the path toward responsible budgeting, we have taken a few steps down that path already, without the risk of upsetting 200 years of finely balanced constitutional powers among the three branches of our Government.
		It is irresponsible for balanced budget amendment critics to demand in a single legislative vehicle a specific balanced budget plan covering the next 7 years as a precondition for passing the amendment.
		We must balance the budget not just to insert into the Constitution, as valuable as that is, the language of balanced budget, but rather to do so for the spirit of America in reaching financial sanity through the balanced budget that will free us all, including our citizens, for the enterprise of the future.

		It's one of satisfying the here-and-now of budget requirements." In the initial flurry of reaction, the Senate passed a unanimous resolution opposing the OMB version of how to reform Social Security, and across the nation, the elderly were alarmed enough to begin writing and calling their representatives in Congress.
		In private, the budget director claimed that these new spending figures that Republicans had agreed upon for the various federal programs were not final but merely authorization ceilings, which could be reduced later on, when the appropriation bills for departments and agencies worked their way through the legislative process.
		The budget cuts Stockman prepared in September did, indeed, scrap many of the agreements he negotiated in June when he was collecting enough votes to pass the President's reconciliation bill.

		We also have heard often of Senator Gramm's ``momma.'' It is for her and the other senior citizens of our country that Senator Gramm has worked hard to strengthen and modernize the Medicare and Social Security programs.
		Very simply, Senator Gramm is a straight shooter, a man who has a strong grasp of the issues, and who never fails to speak his mind.

	Online NewsHour: Budget Surplus-- Historical Context--March 9, 1999
		The Balanced Budget Agreement was designed to end nearly 30 years of deficit spending, a streak that began quietly during Richard Nixon's second year in office.
		And the risk I think we're running now is if we make the surplus and a balanced budget an end in itself and we don't invest in our people once more, in the infrastructure, in education, then the economy is not going to grow in the long run.
		Both parties are for balanced budgets, and I think one problem is that when you don't have one party making the argument that, yes, in certain times there should be big federal spending, I think our politics is going to be impoverished for it.

		Last night's House Republican maneuvers on budget and defense appropriations measures exhibit the same mentality, especially in the strategem that made it possible: a rules change that basically abolished all the rules.
		This is, of course, an old tradition for congressional Republicans, dating back to the mother of all unread bills, the 1981 Gramm-Latta II budget reconciliation substitute motion, which basically packed a year's worth of legislation into a multi-thousand-page "amendment" that was drafted in secret and hastily sent to the floor.
		I don't remember what they called their 1982 budget bill, but 1981 was definitely the year of Gramm and Latta.
