Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic.

I believe that people of my income group should pay more, and I explained why, but that won't necessarily lift overall wage levels.

Poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth.

Every American should have above average income, and my Administration is going to see they get it.

People should really take care when they vote, and pay more attention to what people say they're going to do - instead of just how they feel about how things are going.

The most profound security threat we face today is global warming....climate change has the capacity to change the way all of us live.

We should pass a flex time law that allows employees to take their overtime pay in money or in time off, depending on what's better for their family.
