"Americans no longer look to government for economic security; rather, they look to their portfolios." ― Bill Owens Topic(s): Government More From Bill Owens "Leadership offers an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, no matter what the project." "As a governor, I am naturally inclined to focus on the domestic side of protecting the United States." "Families are the tie that reminds us of yesterday, provide strength and support today, and give us hope for tomorrow. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, or well-managed, can provide what our families provide." More In Government "I think its rather peculiar. It’s not in keeping with our founding documents, our founding vision. But I’d guess you’d have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform. There sure is a lot of mention of government, so I guess I would put the onus on them to answer why they did all these purges of God."― Paul Ryan "The thing is, Obama is right that it would be a calamity for the government to default on its debt by not meeting its obligations. Such a thing has never happened and can’t be allowed to happen."― John Podhoretz "When the people become involved in their government, government becomes more accountable, and our society is stronger, more compassionate, and better prepared for the challenges of the future."― Arnold Schwarzenegger
