Political Quotes

“I have no doubt that they are going to come back. That is because there seems to be a feeling, or they have some notion, that somehow or another you can get something out of a turnip other than turnip juice. If you do not make the right kind of investments, put people to work and balance things in such a way that everybody can benefit rather than these policies where the rich just simply get richer, the poor get poorer and everybody else gets squeezed; and that seems to be the approach. I am not an expert on economics, but it is crazy to me. I mean, we look at all of the places where we need to make investments. Our infrastructure. If you do that, people are working. And if they are working, then things are being shaken up and can be moved about. If you are just waiting for something to happen from on high and say that there are these theoretical investments that we expect people to make and they may or may not make them, but you know that if people have needs and are able to take care of those, you do not have to wonder about that. You know that the guy with six children who needs milk is going to the supermarket if he has got money. That is not a theory. That is an automatic. Or you know that children who need books to go to school, if they have got the money, that the families are going to invest in the education of their children. And so to me it is just a wrongheaded approach. It is an elitist approach.”
