“The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork barrels”
George Bush
“It is not necessary or even possible for us to massively increase the defense budget,”
Cao Gangchuan
“Do they think that the current defense budget will sustain Northrop Grumman as a viable competitor over the next 10 years? An $8 billion company cannot survive in a world of $40 billion companies.”
Dan Goure
“Budgets are doomed to fail because people cut out all of the fun in their life. People need to have leeway.”
Jim Tehan
“Governments don't tax the exercise of constitutional freedoms, that's why we have municipal budgets and publicly funded police departments. People don't pay to exercise their First Amendment rights, that is contradictory to how the Constitution works.”
Howard Simon
“Some people, especially those on restricted budgets, want certainty. They want to know how much they'll be spending each month. Others don't mind; they'll play the market. We're only three or four years into deregulation in Texas. It's a 10- or 15-year process.”
Deryk King
“Fuel costs are still a small part of vacation budgets. For most people, that's not a deal breaker.”
