"Too often government responds to the whispers of lobbyists before the cries of the people." ― Andrew Cuomo Topic(s): Government More From Andrew Cuomo "The essential job of government is to facilitate, not frustrate, job development." "New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it’s a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush." "I am the government." More In Government "Thankfully, due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in, whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil, can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most. That is what being in the United Kingdom is all about."― Iain Duncan Smith "Health care reform, the marquee legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration’s first term, was passed before we entered the world of divided government."― Eliot Spitzer "So the American government lied to the Native Americans for many, many years, and then President Clinton lied about a relationship, and everyone was surprised! A little naive, I feel!"― Eddie Izzard
