-
Asks Quotes
I want to reform the tax code so that it's simple, fair, and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250,000 - the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was president; the same rate we had when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest surplus in history, and a lot of millionaires to boot.
-
Among Quotes
I think Hispanic community - the values that resonate in our community are fundamentally conservative. They are faith, family and patriotism. Do you know the rate of military enlistment among Hispanics is higher than any demographic in this country? And they are also hard work and responsibility.
-
Affecting Quotes
We are proud to bring the world-renowned leader in diabetes care and education to the Las Vegas Valley. Diabetes is a major disease affecting our local community at a rate that exceeds both state and national norms. If not properly treated, it can be a life threatening and debilitating. We look forward to working with the Joslin staff in Boston to ensure that our care meets the standards of this international leader in diabetes treatment, research and education.
-
Adjustment Quotes
We are pleased the proposed general rate increase for electric customers will be considerably less than we originally expected. Energy prices have been rising dramatically throughout the nation during the past year and it is gratifying that we are able to announce an adjustment that is more favorable to our customers.
-
Conclude Quotes
We still think that the growth rate will slow substantially in the fourth quarter, in part because the housing sector is softening which will tend to soften consumer spending as well. That is one factor that will probably help the Federal Reserve eventually conclude its monetary tightening cycle.
-
Act Quotes
We stand with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan in this lawsuit, ... The Illinois Commerce Commission does not have the legal authority to order a power auction with unlimited rate hikes as the outcome. The ICC should tell Ameren and ComEd to take their auction proposal to Springfield for review by the General Assembly, which approved a Public Utilities Act that clearly gives Illinois regulators final say over electricity rates.
-
Believe Quotes
We believe that January sales may have been even worse had Microsoft continued its marketing push, and believe that sell through was helped in part by deep discounting of new releases during the month. January marked the fifth consecutive month of software sales decline, and we expect a return to double-digit sales declines in February, with an accelerating rate of decline in March.
-
Certainly Quotes
What all this tells us and is certainly telling the Fed is that maybe we need to examine what the sustainable growth rate really is. The risk is that we have an economy that is growing at a pace that historically suggests we should see inflation pressures, but we're not seeing that yet.
-
Bank Quotes
US Treasuries, particularly long-term bonds, were robust on Friday, when the Japanese market was closed. Some bond investors view the surge in stocks as bubble while some investors take comfort in the view that the zero-interest rate policy will continue even after the Bank of Japan lifts ultra-loose monetary stance.
-
Apple Quotes
We reiterate our 'buy' rating on Apple and our price target of $80 based on valuation of two times the company's EPS growth rate of 20 percent, reasonable in view of its innovative products and strong product cycles, ownership of technology, strong balance sheet and financial management, increasing return on invested capital and potential for future positive surprises.
-
Built Quotes
We're in this volatile trading range right now until we see what the Fed's going to do. A quarter-point rate increase is clearly built in (bond yields). You really want to see what further direction the Fed's going to give from that point -- whether this is the first of several rate hikes, which I think would be a negative for the market.
-
Admit Quotes
Yes, Greenspan does admit the obvious, that the real federal funds rate has risen considerably, but he quickly concludes that the rate 'remains fairly low'. This is Fed-speak for the notion that the Fed will continue to raise rates by a quarter percentage point...as far as the eye can see.
-
Advertising Quotes
We know campaigns that combine extensive advertising with stepped up law enforcement get positive results. Thanks to 'Click It or Ticket,' our safety belt compliance rate has gone from 76 percent in 2001 to almost 90 percent today. We expect the net effect will be 185 fewer traffic fatalities and 3,000 fewer injuries every year.

Basically Quotes
Waiting. Waiting. What would you do if your family was starving and you saw people dying in the streets? 'Love thy neighbor.' Didn't I read that somewhere? The real war is not in Iraq, but right here in America. It's the War on Poverty, and it's a war that's been ignored and lost. An estimated 37 million Americans are living in poverty. New Orleans is one of the poorest cities in the country, with 40 percent of its children living in poverty. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate of any state. We've repeatedly given tax cuts to the wealthiest and left our most vulnerable American citizens to basically fend for themselves.
-
Anyone Quotes
Ultimately, businesses are faced with two decisions - don't hire anyone new and keep prices the same, or hire people at the new rate you didn't plan on and raise your prices. It is an artificial raise in (business) cost ... when the market forces aren't dictating that they need to do that.
-
Ahead Quotes
Would you like me to give you a formula for... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... you can be discouraged by failure / or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side.
-
Bit Quotes
Worries about an interest rate rise have virtually disappeared, the consensus is now that the Fed won't raise rates, ... Volume is a bit better than yesterday but most of the buying is in half a dozen stocks. Unless we start seeing a broader rally on more volume we can't be convinced that we're out of the woods yet.
-
Breadth Quotes
We're seeing some breadth in this market with some of the smaller stocks participating. We've had some big gains in some of the tech names. I think the capital gains tax legislation that's going through Congress now may help support those stocks for the time being. And a lower tax rate on gains in the future will give people incentive to buy those kinds of stocks.
