"We have to make America the best place in the world to do business." ― Dick Cheney Topic(s): Business More From Dick Cheney "You can’t fall back on the private sector and say, ‘You take care of the nation’s banking system.’ That’s a fundamental function of the government, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and the FDIC, etc. All of those agencies have a major role to play there." "I think the record speaks for itself. These are two individuals who have been for the war when the headlines were good and against it when their poll ratings were bad." "It’s very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9/11, and then looking at 9/11 and saying, “This is not a criminal act,” not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That’s an act of war." More In Business "I’m often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That’s impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more."― Thom Mayne "Business can be a source of progressive change."― Jerry Greenfield "Married couples who work together to build and maintain a business assume broad responsibilities. Not only is their work important to our local and national economies, but their success is central to the well-being of their families."― Melissa Bean
