“We have the least (economic) resilience (of all the states), we never built up a surplus. We don't have the momentum, and we will go backwards; the economy of Michigan will get worse relative to the other states, we will go backward 1 to 2 percent.”
David Littmann
“With all the surpluses, we should have at least $350 million in tax relief. The Legislature has passed a state employee pay raise already, they've passed an English-learner bill three times. Before they spend any more, they should pass tax relief and show the taxpayers that they also rank in the top priorities.”
Steve Voeller
“Freedom is the by-product of economic surplus.”
Aneurin Bevan
“It's a philosophical thing. If we have a surplus of state planes, we need to address that. We should not be in the chartering business.”
Brian O'Connell
“The economic fundamentals are a very supportive factor for the currency. The current account surplus and exports continue to perform well.”
Beat Siegenthaler
“DOG, n. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. This Divine Being in some of his smaller and silkier incarnations takes, in the affection of Woman, the place to which there is no human male aspirant. The Dog is a survival --an anachronism. He toils not, neither does he spin, yet Solomon in all his glory never lay upon a door-mat all day long, sun-soaked and fly-fed and fat, while his master worked for the means wherewith to purchase the idle wag of the Solomonic tail, seasoned with a look of tolerant recognition.”
Ambrose Bierce
“The rich get richer. Not only because they have surpluses with which to invest, but because of the overriding emotional release they experience from having wealth.”
Stuart Wilde
