Arm Quotes
The personal income tax cut could be a boost of $50 billion to disposable income, and some of that could be felt when they actually change the tax withholding schedule, which could be in the spring or summer. Then there might be a little bit of rebate check, too. All of this might be a little more of short-term shot in the arm than the dividend tax cut.

Ahead Quotes
The ongoing task of debt management for the federal government will clearly be very different in the years ahead than it has been in the past, when debt was rapidly increasing, ...

Acquired Quotes
We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial and operational results, as well as the completion of several activities that position us well for 2006. During the fourth quarter of 2005 we opened one new development project, entered into a land development joint venture, acquired interests in two regional malls, sold twelve non-core retail real estate assets, issued $1.1 billion of unsecured notes at attractive coupons, and expanded and extended our corporate credit facility on more favorable terms. In addition, our development program continues to proceed with six projects under construction. We are also pleased to announce today an 8.6 % increase in our common stock dividend.

Bit Quotes
We studied different countries around the world that are representative of different situations and took a look at where they'd end up. One thing that happens right away, which nobody seems to have thought of, is that the total global population increases dramatically. From an original projection of 8 billion we end up topping out at 10 to 11 billion. In many countries, this would have an enormous, and not necessarily positive, impact. For example, the idea that China would go from 1.5 to 1.8 billion, just because of this, is a bit frightening.

Since the third quarter of 2000, we have taken actions that account for more than one-third of this target, including the reduction of approximately 2,000 jobs worldwide in the fourth quarter. This activity will intensify with the reduction of 4,000 jobs in the first quarter and additional reductions through the balance of the year.

Affordable Quotes
There is no question that clean, affordable drinking water is essential to the health of our global community.

Improving and expanding existing water treatment and sanitation systems is more likely to provide safe and sustainable sources of water over the long term.

Connection Quotes
We regret this tragic incident, but we have to remind our patrons that violence at theaters is extremely rare. We've had 1.5 billion people come to the theaters in each of the past three years, and there were only a handful of violent incidents. Though very unfortunate, this type of incident is very rare at the cinema. At this time we don't know if there is any association of this particular incident in connection with the film that was playing. We'll let the police do their investigation.

When the Speaker's gavel comes down, it's intended to open the People's House, and lately it's looking like the Auction House, ... Whether it's an energy bill that gives more $8 billion to the oil and gas interests while oil's at $64 a barrel, whether it's a corporate tax bill solving a $5 billion problem with a $150 billion solution, whether it's a pharmaceutical, prescription drug bill where the industry gave $132 million and walked away with $135 billion in additional profits.

Anyone Quotes
So far the Democrats look like better news for the defense industry than the Republicans, ... I don't see how anyone could disagree. The Democrats are on the record wanting to spend more money than Bush does. The Gore plan envisions spending $10 to $11 billion more a year on defense, whereas the Bush plan sees half as much (of an increase).

Bunch Quotes
Software as a service is something Microsoft wanted to pretend wasn't ever going to happen. The problem they have is that customers want it.

Act Quotes
Medicaid is projected to spend $340 billion in 2006 in combined federal and state dollars. I encourage everyone to think of this program not as a problem, but as an opportunity for real progress, ... A 21st Century Responsible Citizen Medicaid Act would empower those who depend on Medicaid and align incentives so that patients receive markedly better care at lower cost in an environment where physicians, hospitals, pharmacists and nursing homes compete for patients based on the value of their services.

Appeal Quotes
Obviously, we disagree with the ruling and will consider an appeal at the appropriate time.
