Reagan raised that fear by getting the House to substitute budget proposals drafted by Office of Management and Budget Director David Stockman for those worked out by its own committees. Said House Speaker Tip O'Neill after the vote: "I've never seen anything like this. Does this mean that any time the President is interested in a piece of legislation, he merely sends it over?"

...much ado about having had nothing, a matter of pride about starting off humble. Appearing on ABC's Issues and Answers, House Speaker Tip O'Neill got personal in his criticism of President Reagan's tax program. Charged the Speaker: "He has no concern for the little man of America; he never meets those people." The President, O'Neill continued, "doesn't understand the working class.
