Political Quotes

“Thank you for that insight and the wisdom that you have shared with us. This is a graph of actually what happens over time. And this is this effect I was talking about. You know, when you were flying those old-fashioned airplanes and you wanted to not drive your airplane into the dirt, what you had to do was push the stick forward, which would stop the spin. The plane would start to dive; but when you had control, you could pull the stick back. That seemed counterintuitive. Pilots for years would get in that graveyard spiral, and they would keep hitting the ground until this one crazy pilot said I am going to take my airplane up, I am going to put it in a graveyard spiral, and I have a solution, I believe, to pull it out of the spiral and live. So he bet his life on his solution. And he put it in the graveyard spiral, he pushed the stick forward, the plane stabilized, and then he eased the stick back, and the plane pulled out, and all the people on the ground went, whoa, that was a gutsy move. That's a little counterintuitive. When you are out of control going down, your temptation is to jerk the stick up, which is what the Democrats are doing. They are raising taxes, making the situation worse, turning a recession into a depression. And what you have got to do is to learn from the pilots who had before you figured out how to do it. One of them, ironically, was JFK. Now, that guy's a Democrat, and they didn't learn from him.…”
