Harry Miller Quotations

We need a senator who will ask the right questions in the run-up to any conflict and not simply serve as a partisan cheerleader for whoever happens to be sitting in the White House.

The shortage of IT workers has changed the nature of the position of HR (human resources) director, for one, because employee retention has become almost an overwhelming issue, ... Companies might have seen a 10-to-12 percent turnover rate a few years ago, if lucky -- the turnover rate is now more like 20 percent plus. People are stealing employees from one another left and right, and employee loyalty, frankly, runs only as deep as what the company can offer.

What I see is a stable of salivating legal factories gearing up. Is it prudent or responsible for Congress to wait for the inevitable flood or do what it can to provide sandbags now?

It's like we've been presented with four fancy sports cars we'd all love to own. But now it's not clear which one to pick.

This country is bankrupt. If it weren't for investors from China and Japan, our biggest competitors, buying our debt each week, the U.S. couldn't even pay its bills. We have to make this a priority. We have to get this country back on a business-like, sound financial footing as soon as possible.

Now, I'm a businessman. If these people were working for me, they'd be out the door. They'd be fired right away.

The impact on our industry will be minimal. We have studiously worked to maintain a relationship with both sides of the aisle.

The people who are here are here because they are committed to making sure that we all work together for the betterment of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States. Frankly, I find that most of the people here have already made up their minds. Most of the people here are pretty politically involved one way or another and they already have got their commitments. I am not sure that I will convince a lot of voters today.

I'm dissatisfied, and I believe the people of Virginia are dissatisfied, with the direction this country is going. Unless we begin to focus on the real problems in Washington, the way Governor Warner has here in Virginia, we're never going to meet the challenges we face.

I'm finding consistently in all parts of Virginia that people are sick and tired of the mess in Washington. As a businessman and technology executive, I have the background and experience for real solutions to real problems.
