"In opposition, you move to the centre. In government, you move the centre." ― George Osborne Topic(s): Government More From George Osborne "I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services." "The foundations of a strong economy don’t rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government." "Of all the public services, education is the one I’m most interested in. You get a more dynamic economy, you deal with most social problems, and it’s morally right." More In Government "In a clean break from the Obama years, and frankly from the years before this president, we will keep federal spending at 20 percent of GDP, or less. That is enough. The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government."― Paul Ryan "One side of the American psyche wants smaller government, lower taxes, and more choices for individuals, even if those choices increase risk. The other wants a strong social safety net to protect the weakest among us, even if it costs more to minimize risk."― Ron Fournier "The Declaration of Independence says when government fails, the people have the right to replace it. Well, New York State government has failed and the people have the right, indeed the people have the the people have the obligation, to act."― Andrew Cuomo
