Access Quotes
We need financial regulation that allows businesses and the banks they use to have access to the tools that help keep prices of consumer goods - like groceries and home heating oil - steady, while ensuring that the taxpayers are never again on the hook for the types of wild bets that helped crash the economy in 2008.

Accept Quotes
Unfortunately the situation in New Orleans is a microcosm of our nation as a whole. Although our reliance on foreign savings and production are widely known, and most economists accept the fact that a real economic disaster would ensue should foreigners discontinue such subsidies, dump their hoards of U.S. treasuries, and refuse to exchange real goods for paper dollars. However, rather than perusing policies to rebalance our economy, we simply do nothing, and hope that day of reckoning never arrives. However, just as that strategy backfired in New Orleans , so, too, will it for America as a whole.

Activity Quotes
We're not expecting an entirely clean read for the durable goods report. The business confidence data began to bottom at the end of June and that's encouraging. We probably will see modest gains in consumer activity and eventually the business cycle will catch up to that. But so far, everything right now is pointing to frustrating moderate economic growth for the time being,

Clearly Quotes
Wal-Mart's much slower rate of sales growth in November clearly shows this is a matured global business. As supermarket goods continue to increase as a percentage of sales -- and this includes consumables and perishables sold in big volume at Sam's Club -- we will expect to see a persistently slower rate of top line growth.

Benefits Quotes
There are many important messages emerging from this pioneering study. One that rings loud and clear is the economic one - that our collective failure to value the goods and services provided by international waters, and to narrowly price the benefits in terms of the few rather than the many, is impoverishing us all.

Attract Quotes
While Saks is trying to make itself even more exclusive and pricing its goods even higher, the Neiman Marcus stores are going in the other direction and trying to attract a larger group of consumers. Today's development shows that competition in the luxury space is being ratcheted up a notch.

Abortion Quotes
While I think there is more work to be done on Will's statement that 'It is bad to kill a fetus,' he does a service by putting it out there so boldly. There are many problems with the word 'bad' and how it is heard. A more nuanced way of saying this is that the act of abortion is not a moral good. Things that are not moral goods are not necessarily immoral or bad. And they may, as is the case with abortion, be often justifiable and almost always have positive outcomes.

Capital Quotes
Firms are substituting capital -- particularly high-tech capital -- for labor. They're putting smart machines on the factory floor and in the service industry. That may explain why high-tech orders for capital goods have been going up, despite the fact that manufacturers don't seem to be hiring a lot of people.
-
Balance Quotes
The governor realizes that ultimately consumers are the ones that pay for frivolous and junk lawsuits in the form of higher prices for goods and services and higher insurance premiums. His view is that the system must have more balance and fairness built into it, and that balance and fairness is for plaintiffs, for consumers and for employers alike.
-
America Quotes
While we are seeing some softness in many categories, comparable sales performance in our North America retail stores continues to be impacted by weakness in desktops, laptops, monitors and printers and the related 'market basket' of higher margin goods historically linked to purchases of these items.
-
Agreement Quotes
We'll have to work out mechanisms in the agreement -- work out a framework in the resolution or some other mechanism, ... So that these states are allowed to continue to do what they need to do vis-a-vis their trade with Iraq, and particularly in civilian goods for the people of Iraq.

America Quotes
We all have a role to play in helping conserve fuel for our nation, and Union Pacific employees are doing it every day. In a relatively short period of time, our employees have made great strides in implementing and creating world-class energy conservation techniques that are helping us to move more freight while saving fuel. With their help we will continue to improve our efficiency while delivering the goods America needs.
-
Along Quotes
We will shut down the streets at Market Street during that time and the Farmer's Market will border the park along North and South Market Streets. Each stall will have a tent and table provided to the seller, where they can unload their goods. Buyers will be able to walk the streets and get their goods and so forth.

Company Quotes
At this point, the state of the online media market is immature enough that they are still a physical goods company and a company that is driven by great engineering and integration. They are still deriving the majority of their revenue from the hardware. I don't think the content is driving the hardware, yet.

Advantage Quotes
Federal assistance helps millions of Americans escape poverty every year by providing the stability needed to take advantage of new opportunities. In fact, it is our safety net that allows full participation in the economy. More Americans purchasing goods means more Americans making them, which means more American jobs.

Eventually, such companies may capture significant market share in Europe and the United States.
