“If you want quality service, you have to pay for it. You don't buy into waste.

“If you wanted to create jobs in a way that has minimal effect on the deficit but has government action, the two best things you could do are the infrastructure bank and a simple SBA-like loan guarantee for all building retrofits, where the contractor or the energy-service company guarantees the savings. So that allows the bank to loan money to let a school or a college or a hospital or a museum or a commercial building unencumbered by debt to loan it on terms that are longer, so you can pay it back only from your utility savings. You could create a million jobs doing that.” IfsWayTwoGovernmentActionWantedSchoolJobsEnergyTermSimplePayCompanyMillionsEffectsBuildingCollegeDebtSavingBest ThingsGuaranteesHospitalsMuseumsInfrastructureDeficitLoanUtilitySavingsContractor Author:William J.

“People are conditioned to believe that error is inevitable.... However, we do not accept the same standard when it comes to our personal life. If we did, we would resign ourselves to being shortchanged now and then when we cash our paychecks. We would expect hospital nurses to drop a certain percentage of all newborn babies. We would expect to go home to the wrong house periodically. As individuals we do not tolerate these things. Thus we have a double standard, one for ourselves, one for the company.” PeopleIfsBelieveHomeCertainHouseIndividualCompanyAcceptingBabyStandardsErrorsInevitableHospitalsNurseCashNow And ThenToleratePersonal LifePercentagesPaychecksNewbornDouble StandardNewborn Baby Author:Phil Crosby
