If unemployment could be brought down to say 2 percent at the cost of an assured steady rate of inflation of 10 percent per year, or even 20 percent, this would be a good bargain.

There is no real justification for a requirement that a budget of any sort should be balanced, except as a rallying point for those who seek to hamstring government.

The insane pursuit of the holy grail of a balanced budget in the end is going to drive the economy into a depression.

As the Indian economy adds strength to our region and the world, it will also benefit Mongolia.

You see, being bald and wearing that gray starship uniform, I would have looked like a boy. I wanted to look like a sexy female.

There's a lot more future in hamburgers than in baseball.

No oyster in the world tastes as good as a Gulf oyster.

Do good when you remember, and what you forget will be revealed to you; and do not surrender your mind to blind forgetfulness.
