Allen WestThis violence is so pervasive. We see it in our schools, where we have more security guards now than teachers. We see it in California where more prisons are being built than colleges.

Henry GirouxIt will be an unusual dynamic [in Congress]. It won't be like the rallying behind President [Barack] Obama in 2009 or behind President [George W.] Bush, even at the beginning of his presidency, or even [Bill] Clinton in '93, when he got his budget through on a partisan vote.

VestBill Clinton gives the appearance of taking stands-for some sort of tax cut, some sort of welfare reform, some sort of balanced budget-but these are ploys, mirages: they exist only to undermine positions taken by the Republicans.

Barbara EhrenreichI was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
George R. R. MartinThere's still another problem which puzzles a lot of people - whether or not a baby will come within the budget.

I have terrible luck with cars.โ โWorking at Rangeman is a high-stress job, and youโre one of our few sources of comic relief. I give you a car and my men start a pool on how long it will take you to trash it. Youโre a line item in my budget under entertainment.

Grover NorquistSpreading the word on a zero budget is difficult.

Gary JohnsonUntil the 1930s, the Constitution served as a major constraint on federal economic interventionism. The government's powers were understood to be just as the framers intended: few and explicitly enumerated in our founding document and its amendments.
