With a Democratic president:
“During the great economy of the 1990's orchestras perhaps expanded faster than they should have. I believe that in really good economic times orchestras should not spend up to their revenues and should instead go for a surplus and keep a cushion for the future.”
With a Republican president:
“I don't think there's a deep systemic problem that's unique to symphony orchestras, since airlines and hotel chains and hockey teams are also suffering from this economic downturn.”
I report, you decide.
Anyone but Bush in '04
