Excessive optimism sows the seeds of its own reversal.

Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth.

And whatever their publicized angst over Saddam Hussein's 'weapons of mass destruction,' American and British authorities were also concerned about violence in an area that harbors a resource indispensable for the functioning of the word economy. I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.

These days, even out of office, I still read economic reports.

I love to play tennis and golf, listen to music, watch baseball and root for the Redskins.

The number one problem in today's generation and economy is the lack of financial literacy.

The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default.
