“Washington, D.C. is a place where delusions go to thrive. That explains why Congress and the president are now agreed on remedies that will not work, expending money they do not have, to fix a problem that may not exist.” — Steve Chapman

“The fact that the market is not doing what we wish it would do is no reason to automatically assume that the government would do better.” — Thomas Sowell

“When the economy does not need a rescue plan and gets one, it’s called ‘campaign spending’. And this $150 billion stimulus package is nothing more than campaign spending on the part of both parties.” — Rush Limbaugh

“Some Democratic and Republican presidential hopefuls are preaching economic doom and gloom, disappearing middle class, and failing health care industry. What’s their solution? The short answer is give them more control over our lives.” — Walter Williams

“It is strange that the qualities we are looking for in a sitting president—thoughtful, calm, and serious—are exactly the qualities that we penalize in those running for president.” — Rich Galen

“Every candidate who repeats the misleading nonsense that ‘47 million in America have no health care,’ ought to be challenged with hard truth. The number is grossly inflated by including millions who are here illegally and millions of others who have the means to pay for health care insurance but refuse to adjust their budget and lifestyle. And don’t expect any media type to question where in the Constitution Congress derives any authority to dispense health care.” — Janet LaRue
