Federal Government Quotes - Page 5

• [M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.

  Franklin D. Roosevelt

• Me encanta contar cómo sufro porque el uno por ciento estamos pagando el 25 por ciento del total. No estamos pagando el 25 por ciento del total de los impuestos sobre las personas físicas. Estamos pagando tal vez el 25 por ciento del impuesto sobre la renta, pero el impuesto sobre la nómina es más de un tercio de los ingresos del gobierno federal. Y no me lo quitan por las ganancias de capital. No me lo quitan por los dividendos. Se lo quitan a la mujer que viene y saca las papeleras.

• I have never yet had anyone who could, through the use of logic and reason, justify the Federal Government borrowing the use of its own money. I believe the time will come when people will demand that this be changed. I believe the time will come in this country when they will actually blame you and me and everyone else connected with the Congress for sitting idly by and permitting such an idiotic system to continue.

• Despite its potential, the federal government has restricted funding for creating new cell lines - putting the burden of any future research squarely on the shoulders of the private sector.

• En primer lugar, esta ley -la Ley de Educación para la Defensa Nacional- puso fin a años y años de debate sobre una cuestión controvertida: "¿Debe el Gobierno Federal, con todos sus ingentes recursos, implicarse directamente en la ayuda a la educación estadounidense?". La respuesta que dio esta ley fue un rotundo "¡Sí!", y así allanamos el camino para una nueva era de apoyo a la educación en Estados Unidos. Esta ley, de hecho, ayudó a hacer posibles más de 50 nuevas leyes educativas aprobadas durante mi gobierno.

• In the distance, I see a frightful storm brewing in the form of un-tethered government debt. I choose the words -“frightful storm' - deliberately to avoid hyperbole. Unless we take steps to deal with it, the long-term fiscal situation of the federal government will be unimaginably more devastating to our economic prosperity than the subprime debacle and the recent debauching of credit markets that we are working right now so hard to correct.
