When there's downward pressure on growth, one choice is to adjust economic policy, increase deficits, relax monetary policy. That might have a short-term benefit, but may not be beneficial for the future. ~ Li Keqiang
Economic Policy quotes by Li Keqiang
The majority of any society comprised, Smith knew, not landlords or merchants, but "servants, laborers, and workmen of different kinds," who derived their income from wages. Their welfare was the prime concern of economic policy, as Smith conceived it. "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable," he wrote. "It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe and lodge the whole body of the people should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged." The chief economic concern of the legislator, in Smith's view, ought to be the purchasing power of wages, since that was the measure of the material well-being of the bulk of the population. (p. 64) ~ Jerry Z. Muller
Economic Policy quotes by Jerry Z. Muller
In a normal time, I don't think economic policy makes a large difference one way or another. But in times of crisis it makes all the difference in the world. ~ Mark Zandi
Economic Policy quotes by Mark Zandi
When depression economics prevails, the usual rules of economic policy no longer apply: virtue becomes vice, caution is risky and prudence is folly. ~ Paul Krugman
Economic Policy quotes by Paul Krugman
A fourth argument, one that was made by Alexander Hamilton and continues to be repeated down to the present, is that free trade would be fine if all other countries practiced free trade but that so long as they do not, the United States cannot afford to. This argument has no validity whatsoever, either in principle or in practice. Other countries that impose restrictions on international trade do hurt us. But they also hurt themselves. Aside from the three cases just considered, if we impose restrictions in turn, we simply add to the harm to ourselves and also harm them as well. Competition in masochism and sadism is hardly a prescription for sensible international economic policy! Far from leading to a reduction in restrictions by other countries, this kind of retaliatory action simply leads to further restrictions. ~ Milton Friedman
Economic Policy quotes by Milton Friedman
Folks in the bottom half of the economy are already squeezed hard. They will be bloodied and bankrupt if economic policy inadvertently induces a recession. ~ William Greider
Economic Policy quotes by William Greider
As a Whig, Lincoln had seen the slavery question as a threat to party unity and economic policy as a source of party strength. Now, he realized, the situation was reversed. He worked to ensure that the new party with its heterogeneous membership ignored divisive issues like the Whig economic agenda, which he had strenuously advocated for two decades but which would alienate former Democrats. ~ Eric Foner
Economic Policy quotes by Eric Foner
What I know is that if you put the right policies in place that will lead to economic growth, society will be better. ~ Anthony Scaramucci
Economic Policy quotes by Anthony Scaramucci
I had been secretary of state for eight years, attorney general for four years, lieutenant governor for four years, and governor for four years - I had all these friends around the country - so I thought I could gin up a campaign not for me but against George W. Bush, against his war, against his economic policies, and against his education policies. ~ Don Siegelman
Economic Policy quotes by Don Siegelman
Why does a public discussion of economic policy so often show the abysmal ignorance of the participants? ~ Robert Solow
Economic Policy quotes by Robert Solow
The countries that have risen and separated out as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union are, on the whole, following freer economic policies. Most of these states have freer government and less restrictions on trade. ~ Milton Friedman
Economic Policy quotes by Milton Friedman
Our listeners asked us:
"What is chaos?"
We're answering:
"We do not comment on economic policy. ~ John Vaillant
Economic Policy quotes by John Vaillant
Here, then, are some things on which Americans broadly agree. They agree that there should be equality of opportunity for American citizens. They agree that individuals should make the maximum effort to help themselves. They agree that government should help those in real need, as long as they are also trying to help themselves. And they broadly agree that the rich should pay more in taxes. These core values can form the basis of a broad and effective consensus on the basic direction of economic policy. In ~ Jeffrey D. Sachs
Economic Policy quotes by Jeffrey D. Sachs
Thatcherite economic policy was most acutely felt in the coal industry, where tens of thousands of jobs were lost as pits were shut down. ~ John Burnside
Economic Policy quotes by John Burnside
It's not that I disagreed with Bush's economic policy ... I believed he was a child of Satan here to destroy the planet ... ~ Bill Hicks
Economic Policy quotes by Bill Hicks
You have to take away some of tax breaks for the wealthy, and you have to cut back on some entitlements. Because, unless we do all of these things, it just doesn't work. And what's good theater and what's good politics isn't necessarily good economic policy. ~ Michael Bloomberg
Economic Policy quotes by Michael Bloomberg
Look at what Bush has done. The economy took an incredible hit after September 11. That was a huge shock to the economy. And we've recovered a lot quicker than we thought, thanks to Bush and his economic policy. ~ Christine O'Donnell
Economic Policy quotes by Christine O'Donnell
The U.S.A. economic policy and practice have been largely influenced by this thought that people shall own property in their own right and in order to be strong enough to control their own government. ~ Ndabaningi Sithole
Economic Policy quotes by Ndabaningi Sithole
I have learned as much in the last three years as in any other comparable period of my life, but with an added realisation of how little over a half century of study one has in fact managed to learn of the whole range of economic policy issues. ~ James Meade
Economic Policy quotes by James Meade
The Economic Policy Institute, a progressive think tank, estimated that the hedge fund loophole cost the government over $6 billion a year - the cost of providing health care to three million children. Of that total, it said, almost $2 billion a year from the tax break went to just twenty-five individuals. ~ Jane Mayer
Economic Policy quotes by Jane Mayer
I am shocked that Republicans can't explain why our technological and economic advantages are the result of sound monetary and economic policy. ~ Jack Kemp
Economic Policy quotes by Jack Kemp
When it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s. ~ Barack Obama
Economic Policy quotes by Barack Obama
I am not a politician but I have dedicated the biggest part of my professional life to economic policy both in Greece and Europe. ~ Lucas Papademos
Economic Policy quotes by Lucas Papademos
Clear communication is always important in central banking, but it can be especially important when economic conditions call for further policy stimulus but the policy rate is already at its effective lower bound. ~ Ben Bernanke
Economic Policy quotes by Ben Bernanke
The White House is defending President Obama's sports activities over the past week, saying that everyone needs leisure time. Thanks to these economic policies, 9.5 percent of Americans have all the leisure time they need. ~ Jay Leno
Economic Policy quotes by Jay Leno
We've got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. ~ Tim Wirth
Economic Policy quotes by Tim Wirth
Ensuring fairness in the American workplace should be a cornerstone of our economic policy. ~ Tim Scott
Economic Policy quotes by Tim Scott
The obligation to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow also presumes the right to do so. A society in which this right is systematically denied, in which economic policies do not allow workers to reach satisfactory levels of employment, cannot be justified from an ethical point of view, nor can that society attain social peace. ~ Pope John Paul II
Economic Policy quotes by Pope John Paul II
We have an economic policy that is just about 10,000 years out of date. ~ Louis O. Kelso
Economic Policy quotes by Louis O. Kelso
The United States over the last thirty years has seen a growing gap - indeed, a deepening gulf - between rich and poor. The gap is significantly greater than in any other developed nation. Moreover, the growing gulf between rich and poor is the result of social and economic policy, not because some classes of people worked harder and others slacked off over the last thirty years (all of us, according to most studies, are working harder). The differences among countries generate the same conclusion: social policy, not simply individual effort, is responsible for the distribution of wealth. Our recent social policy may not have been intended to produce this result, but it has. The consequence is increased suffering and desperation among the poor and potentially grave consequences for the society as a whole.

Moreover, many people in the middle, who are most often struggling financially, support the individualistic ideology underlying our social policy - namely, the notions that we each have worked hard for what we have and ought to be able to keep all of it, that government is bad (or at least inefficient and wasteful - and hungry for our tax dollars), and that things will be better for all of us if we let the wealthiest people in our country make and keep as much money as possible. Many of us seem not to realize that the people who benefit the most from our politics and economics of individualism are the wealthiest 10 percent, especially the top 1 percent. People wil ~ Marcus J. Borg
Economic Policy quotes by Marcus J. Borg
It was almost forbidden in the Soviet Union to study the New Economic Policy. ~ Anatoly Chubais
Economic Policy quotes by Anatoly Chubais
Often analysis seems to be based on the assumption that future economic output is almost entirely determined by inexorable economic forces independently of government policy so that devoting more resources to one use inevitably detracts from availability for another. ~ William Vickrey
Economic Policy quotes by William Vickrey
Are we interested in treating the symptoms of poverty and economic stagnation through income redistribution and class warfare, or do we want to go at the root causes of poverty and economic stagnation by promoting pro-growth policies that promote prosperity? ~ Paul Ryan
Economic Policy quotes by Paul Ryan
Austerity policy without currency devaluation can only hamper economic growth. ~ Lou Jiwei
Economic Policy quotes by Lou Jiwei
The successful conduct of economic policy is possible only if there is - and is seen to be - full agreement between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. ~ Nigel Lawson
Economic Policy quotes by Nigel Lawson
No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's care. But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children. ~ Hillary Clinton
Economic Policy quotes by Hillary Clinton
My interest in economics has always been in the whole corpus of economic theory, the interrelationships between the various fields of theory and their relevance for the formulation of economic policy. ~ James Meade
Economic Policy quotes by James Meade
In 1988, when democracy was restored, the military establishment was still very powerful. The extremist groups were still there. And when the aid and assistance to Pakistan was cut, we had to adopt harsh economic policies. So in a way, it showed that democracy doesn't pay, and the military was able to reassert itself. ~ Benazir Bhutto
Economic Policy quotes by Benazir Bhutto
During the debate over NAFTA President Clinton said, 'I believe that NAFTA will create a million jobs in the first five years of its impact.' WRONG. According to the Economic Policy Institute, NAFTA has led to the loss of more than 680,000 U.S. jobs. I voted against NAFTA and other bad trade agreements and am fighting to stop the TPP. ~ Bernie Sanders
Economic Policy quotes by Bernie Sanders
Watch out Mr. Bush! With the exception of economic policy and energy policy and social issues and tax policy and foreign policy and supreme court appointments and Rove-style politics, we're coming in there to shake things up! ~ Tom Toles
Economic Policy quotes by Tom Toles
Um, yeah. For instance, take, you know, take, for instance, the issue of -- I'm drawing a blank, and I hate it when I do that, particularly on television.
-- potential McCain VP candidate Mark Sanford, asked on CNN to name differences in economic policy between Bush and McCain ~ Mark Sanford
Economic Policy quotes by Mark Sanford
The minimum wage was enacted in 1937 during the Great Depression and it has been increased 16 times. It's a well-established economic policy to help families. ~ John Freeman
Economic Policy quotes by John Freeman
Governments must take on the central role of creating an investment climate across Africa that supports enterprise and the role of the private sector and provides a clear and predictable economic policy framework for business to succeed. ~ Jeroen Van Der Veer
Economic Policy quotes by Jeroen Van Der Veer
Had Schleicher been successful in his leadership of the German government at the end of 1932, he would probably have headed a very moderate, essentially anti-Nazi form of nationalist authoritarianism that would have avoided a sharp break with the republican constitution and promoted a reflationary, reformist economic policy along Keynesian or New Deal lines to revive the economy and conciliate German society. ~ Stanley G. Payne
Economic Policy quotes by Stanley G. Payne
tenure at Treasury was not as successful as his career at Alcoa. Almost immediately after taking office he began focusing on a couple of key issues, including worker safety, job creation, executive accountability, and fighting African poverty, among other initiatives. However, O'Neill's politics did not line up with those of President Bush, and he launched an internal fight opposing Bush's proposed tax cuts. He was asked to resign at the end of 2002. "What I thought was the right thing for economic policy was the opposite of what the White House wanted," O'Neill told me. "That's not good for a treasury secretary, so I got fired. ~ Charles Duhigg
Economic Policy quotes by Charles Duhigg
In order to achieve optimal economic growth, Congress must adhere to sane spending guidelines while promoting smart policies devoted to growing businesses and creating jobs. ~ Michael Steele
Economic Policy quotes by Michael Steele
New Labour was the most short-sighted, self-serving, incompetent, useless, and ineffective government that Britain has ever known. Make no mistake, Labour's economic policies were a national security liability. ~ Liam Fox
Economic Policy quotes by Liam Fox
The people see that Wall Street is running our economic policy, that big oil is running our energy policy and the military industrial complex is determining our foreign policy ... ~ Alan Grayson
Economic Policy quotes by Alan Grayson
If you want to know what the biggest thing in your way to an improved standard of living, higher pay, a more rewarding career is: Barack Obama and the Democrat Party and their economic policies. They are the roadblock. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Economic Policy quotes by Rush Limbaugh
Booming cities, and the provinces and states in which they are located, are driving forces in economic growth today. Consequently, they constitute the new frontier in America's international economic policy. ~ Robert Hormats
Economic Policy quotes by Robert Hormats
Making economic policy isn't a popularity contest, especially when financial markets are in a panic. ~ David Ignatius
Economic Policy quotes by David Ignatius
In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated. If the world is lucky enough to enjoy peace, it may even one day make the discovery, to the horror of doctrinaire free-enterprisers and doctrinaire planners alike, that what is called capitalism and what is called socialism are both capable of working quite well. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Economic Policy quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
In many spheres of human endeavor, from science to business to education to economic policy, good decisions depend on good measurement. ~ Ben Bernanke
Economic Policy quotes by Ben Bernanke
A long decade ago economic growth was the reigning fashion of political economy. It was simultaneously the hottest subject of economic theory and research, a slogan eagerly claimed by politicians of all stripes, and a serious objective of the policies of governments. The climate of opinion has changed dramatically. Disillusioned critics indict both economic science and economic policy for blind obeisance to aggregate material "progress," and for neglect of its costly side effects. Growth, it is charged, distorts national priorities, worsens the distribution of income, and irreparably damages the environment. Paul Erlich speaks for a multitude when he says, "We must acquire a life style which has as its goal maximum freedom and happiness for the individual, not a maximum Gross National Product." [in Nordhaus, William D. and James Tobin., "Is growth obsolete?" Economic Research: Retrospect and Prospect Vol 5: Economic Growth. Nber, 1972. 1-80] ~ James Tobin
Economic Policy quotes by James Tobin
I strongly believe that the best economic policy
for any administration is the one that seeks to produce more entrepreneurs,
not just more minimally educated college graduates with
nowhere to go. Nothing against recent college graduates, but many
of today's best universities are no longer providing the basics of a
classical liberal education.
That is why the single most important economic issue of our
time - and one that impacts the poor and middle class alike - will be
how we treat the entrepreneurs and wealth creators among us, from
both the government and the private-sector viewpoints. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Economic Policy quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
Good environmental policy is good economic policy. ~ Bernie Sanders
Economic Policy quotes by Bernie Sanders
Much fiscal policy is implemented, not through spending increases, but through tax credits and other so-called tax expenditures. The markets should respond to them as they do spending cuts, with little contraction in economic activity. ~ Alan Greenspan
Economic Policy quotes by Alan Greenspan
A new study says that working fewer hours can slow global warming. So you know what that means? President Obama's economic policy is also his climate change policy. ~ Jay Leno
Economic Policy quotes by Jay Leno
We need to have a pro-growth policy put in place that offers people hope and offers the opportunity for businesses to expand and for them to have confidence in what the world is going to look like for the next two or three or four years with respect to economic policy. ~ Dick Cheney
Economic Policy quotes by Dick Cheney
The media has brainwashed the electorate to expect the government to do something. The best economic policy of any government is to do nothing but reduce the size of the government, reduce the size of the laws, and reduce the size of regulations. ~ Marc Faber
Economic Policy quotes by Marc Faber
People confuse economists and economic policy. ~ Franco Modigliani
Economic Policy quotes by Franco Modigliani
CFR's Renewing America initiative - from which this book arose - has focused on those areas of economic policy that are the most important for reinforcing America's competitive strengths. Education, corporate tax policy, and infrastructure, for example, are issues that historically have been considered largely matters of domestic policy. Yet in a highly competitive global economy, an educated workforce, a competitive tax structure, and an efficient transportation network are all crucial to attracting investment and delivering goods and services that can succeed in global markets. The line between domestic economic policy and foreign economic policy is in many cases now almost invisible. Building a more competitive economy for the future requires that our political leaders - not just in Congress and the White House but also in state and local governments - understand how their policy choices can affect the choices of companies that can now invest almost anywhere in the world. ~ Edward Alden
Economic Policy quotes by Edward Alden
We have the most flexible and adaptive economy. Making sure we sustain the ability of the American economy to perform well is really the priority of economic policy. ~ John W. Snow
Economic Policy quotes by John W. Snow
It is doubtful that the government knows much more than the public does about how government [Economic] policies will work. ~ W. Allen Wallis
Economic Policy quotes by W. Allen Wallis
Economists agree about economics - and that's a science - and they disagree about economic policy because that's a value judgment ... I've had profound disagreements on policy with the famous Milton Friedman. But, on economics, we agree. ~ Franco Modigliani
Economic Policy quotes by Franco Modigliani
The Federal Reserve is the overlord of the money supply. If these two are not steering in the same direction, they can either neutralize each other or have the economy lurching in all directions. This is not a rational system for setting economic policy. It has given us trouble in the past, as the text will establish, and will inevitably in the future. ~ Wright Patman
Economic Policy quotes by Wright Patman
The principle of real leadership ignored, the immortal objects of society forgotten, practical conservatism degenerated into mere laudation of private enterprise, economic policy almost wholly surrendered to special interests. ~ Russell Kirk
Economic Policy quotes by Russell Kirk
The most successful ruse of neoliberal dominance in both global and domestic affairs is the definition of economic policy as primarily a matter of neutral, technical expertise. This expertise is then presented as separate from politics and culture, and not properly subject to specifically political accountability or cultural critique. Opposition to material inequality is maligned as "class warfare," while race, gender or sexual inequalities are dismissed as merely cultural, private, or trivial. This rhetorical separation of the economic from the political and
cultural arenas disguises the upwardly redistributing goals of neoliberalism - its concerted efforts to concentrate power and resources in the hands of tiny elites. Once economics is understood as primarily a
technical realm, the trickle-upward effects of neoliberal policies can be framed as due to performance rather than design, reflecting the greater merit of those reaping larger rewards. ~ Lisa Duggan
Economic Policy quotes by Lisa Duggan
After 20 years in Congress, I still believe that smaller government and lower taxes are the most effective economic policies. ~ Howard Coble
Economic Policy quotes by Howard Coble
It is easy to lose sight of the ultimate purpose of economic policy: the life satisfaction of the population. That ultimate goal should be unassailable for a country founded precisely to defend the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. ~ Jeffrey D. Sachs
Economic Policy quotes by Jeffrey D. Sachs
Milton Friedman's misfortune is that his economic policies have been tried. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Economic Policy quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
Events and developments that we have observed in 2014, prove that this year will be very difficult for the world economy, but thoughtful economic policy, diversification and unity between the country's leadership and people guarantee that this year will be successful for us. ~ Ilham Aliyev
Economic Policy quotes by Ilham Aliyev
Today's Republican Party ... is an insurgent outlier. It has become ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition, all but declaring war on the government. The Democratic Party, while no paragon of civic virtue, is more ideologically centered and diverse, protective of the government's role as it developed over the course of the last century, open to incremental changes in policy fashioned through bargaining with the Republicans, and less disposed to or adept at take-no-prisoners conflict between the parties. This asymmetry between the parties, which journalists and scholars often brush aside or whitewash in a quest for "balance," constitutes a huge obstacle to effective governance. ~ Thomas E. Mann
Economic Policy quotes by Thomas E. Mann
If this Government cannot get the adjustment, get manufacturing going again, and keep moderate wage outcomes and a sensible economic policy, then Australia is basically done for. We will end up being a third rate economy ... a banana republic. ~ Paul Keating
Economic Policy quotes by Paul Keating
When Hillary Clinton talks about adding more restrictions and complexity to our financial system, as she did in her economic policy speech, it shows how clueless she is about how the economy actually works. ~ Carly Fiorina
Economic Policy quotes by Carly Fiorina
State interference in economic life, which calls itself economic policy, has done nothing but destroy economic life. Prohibitions and regulations have by their general obstructive tendency fostered the growth of the spirit of wastefulness. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Economic Policy quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
I'm not a policy expert - I am only arguing that there is more to an education than an economic ticket. ~ Rebecca Mead
Economic Policy quotes by Rebecca Mead
There is no better example of social and economic policy discussion as an idle pastime for the rich than the World Economic Forum at Davos. These guys make the millionaire schmoozers at the Aspen Ideas Festival look like short-order cooks. ~ Timothy Noah
Economic Policy quotes by Timothy Noah
We need a much better understanding of the climate before making policy choices that would impose substantial economic costs on our Nation. ~ Ted Cruz
Economic Policy quotes by Ted Cruz
"Murphys law of economic policy": Economists have the least influence on policy where they know the most and are most agreed; they have the most influence on policy where they know the least and disagree most vehemently. ~ Alan Blinder
Economic Policy quotes by Alan Blinder
There are people who think that plunder loses all its immorality as soon as it becomes legal. Personally, I cannot imagine a more alarming situation. ~ Frederic Bastiat
Economic Policy quotes by Frederic Bastiat
Increased interest and participation by labor in the affairs of government should make for economic and political stability in the future. Labor has a constitutional and statutory right to participate. ~ John L. Lewis
Economic Policy quotes by John L. Lewis
The widespread inability to understand technological artifacts as fabricated entities, as social and cultural phenomena, derives from the fact that in retrospect only those technologies that prove functional for a culture and can be integrated into everyday life are 'left over.' However, the perception of what is functional, successful and useful is itself the product of social and cultural
and last but not least
political and economic processes. Selection processes and abandoned products and product forms are usually not discussed. ~ Johannes Grenzfurthner
Economic Policy quotes by Johannes Grenzfurthner
You may think that tax policy sounds like the most boring topic in the world. That is precisely what most governments, corporations, and special interests would like you to think, because tax policy is where much of society and the economy gets shaped. It is also where well-informed citizens can achieve socioeconomic revolutions with astonishing speed and effectiveness - but only if they realize how much power they might wield in this domain. If citizens don't understand taxes, they don't understand how, when, and where their government expropriates money, time, and freedom from their lives. They also don't understand how most governments bias consumption over savings, and bias some forms of consumption over other forms, thereby distorting the trait-display systems that people might otherwise favor. ~ Geoffrey Miller
Economic Policy quotes by Geoffrey Miller
Gore Vidal, Glenn Greenwald, Noam Chomsky, all these guys talk about how the United States became a national security state after World War II. I agree with that thesis. Essentially there's this bipartisan foreign policy elite who've been calling the shots for the last few decades and they're clearly still in control regardless of how clownish or absurd or stupid they demonstrate themselves to be. There's no shaking their orthodoxy. ~ Michael Hastings
Economic Policy quotes by Michael Hastings
We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice. Now we must add a new fight - the fight for electoral justice. ~ Barbara Boxer
Economic Policy quotes by Barbara Boxer
And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions. ~ John Grisham
Economic Policy quotes by John Grisham
Modern technology easily becomes the servant of this or that want and need. In modern economy, a completely irrational consumption conforms to a totally rationalized production. A marvelously rational mechanism serves one or another demand, always with the same earnestness and precision, be it for a silk blouse or poison gas or anything whatsoever. Economic rationalism has accustomed itself to deal only with certain needs and to acknowledge only those it can "satisfy." In the modern metropolis, it has erected an edifice wherein everything runs strictly according to plan - everything is calculable. A devout Catholic, precisely following his own rationality, might well be horrified by this system of irresistible materiality. ~ Carl Schmitt
Economic Policy quotes by Carl Schmitt
I really think [the Bush Administration]'s foreign policy agenda is to spread irony through the world. ~ Jon Stewart
Economic Policy quotes by Jon Stewart
The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economist sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups. ~ Henry Hazlitt
Economic Policy quotes by Henry Hazlitt
Leftist big-government policies have been disastrous for black America just as they were in the countries that most Hispanics emigrated from. But like the gambling addict who keeps gambling the more he loses, those addicted to government entitlements keep increasing the size of the government even as their situation worsens. ~ Dennis Prager
Economic Policy quotes by Dennis Prager
Reasonable, even intelligent people can, and frequently do, disagree on how best to achieve peace in the Middle East, but, peace must be the goal of our foreign policy tools, whether they be by the stick or by the carrot. ~ Nick Rahall
Economic Policy quotes by Nick Rahall
At CARE, a leading humanitarian organization, we recognize people live their lives in a holistic manner. Issues such as health care, education and economic empowerment cannot be addressed in a vacuum. Thus, effective programs need to tackle the multiple root causes of poverty. ~ Helene D. Gayle
Economic Policy quotes by Helene D. Gayle
Most people in Seoul don't care about the North's belligerent statements: The farther one is from the Korean Peninsula, the more one will find people worried about the recent developments here. Scary impressions are important to North Korea because for the last two decades its policy has been, above all, a brilliant exercise in diplomatic blackmail. And blackmail usually works better when the practitioners are seen as irrational and unpredictable. ~ Andrei Lankov
Economic Policy quotes by Andrei Lankov
Interest rates are going to go up because employment is going to go up. If employment goes up, then our apartments get filled. And if employment goes up, our office buildings get filled. The reality is that increased economic activity combined with increased interest rates is basically bullish for real estate. ~ Sam Zell
Economic Policy quotes by Sam Zell
Keenly aware that he carried Ferdinand and Isabella's commercial hopes with him, Columbus was quick to point out that 'the Indians' had economic potential as well as charm. Too trusting to resist capture, and too docile to rebel once caught, they would clearly make excellent slaves. 'From here,' he enthused, 'in the name of the Blessed Trinity, we can send all the slaves that can be sold. ~ James Wilson
Economic Policy quotes by James Wilson
Most of you know from studying your Bibles that Satan will build a false superchurch: the whore of Revelation, chapters 6, 13, 17 and 18. According to Bible prophecy, she will have great political, economic, military, and educational power, and she will persecute and murder the true believers in Christ. ~ Jack T. Chick
Economic Policy quotes by Jack T. Chick
Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident? ~ Chris Van Hollen
Economic Policy quotes by Chris Van Hollen
If democracy is control by the people, as it is supposed to be, it is the right form of government. I believe in a complete democracy - individual, political, social, economic. If we really had that, which we don't now, it would be in harmony with divine purpose. ~ Peace Pilgrim
Economic Policy quotes by Peace Pilgrim
Bill Clinton, who, to his credit, has established a clear and consistent foreign policy, which is as follows: Whenever the president of the United States gets anywhere near any foreign head of state, living or dead, he gives that leader a big old hug. This has proven to be an effective way to get foreign leaders to do what we want: Many heads of state are willing to sign any random document that President Clinton thrusts in front of them, without reading it, just so he will stop embracing them. ~ Dave Barry
Economic Policy quotes by Dave Barry
