The film, even when we were making it in that budget range, which was really a coup - we got it made because we pitched it to the studio head, Joe Roth.
I said we are going to balance an $11 billion budget deficit in a $29 billion budget, so by percentage, the largest budget deficit in America, by percentage, larger than California, larger than New York, larger than Illinois.

I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever.
Inhumane treatment of the undocumented cannot be rewarded with repeated budget increases. It goes against our country's most fundamental values and cannot continue. We must cut I.C.E.s budgets until these concerns are addressed.
While our budget shortfall is temporary, ruining pristine national lands is permanent.
You know, a low budget, you have to work harder. You have to plan well; you don't have much time to rehearse.
I'll never do a film because it's a massive budget and I'm gonna get lots of publicity for it and it will bring something else.

The House-passed FY2012 Budget Resolution does two very important things: it ensures that seniors 55 and older will continue to receive the same Medicare benefits they received in 2010, and it ensures Medicare for individuals under age 55 by saving Medicare from insolvency and providing, for the first time, a real choice for the future.
