“The whole financial structure of Wall Street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the Federal Reserve Bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. Any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice. Why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. But you let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.” CountryWholeFactsHelpingSeemsGovernmentFallInterestPoorAttentionStreetsWallAmountBedTenPercentEconomicsPaidRaisesStructureMereFinancialIceNightmareFarmersReservesLoanSkatingFederal ReserveSkating On Thin Ice Author:Will Rogers

“Certain countries long ago succeeded where the U.S. has failed in commercializing their air traffic control systems, putting them in the hands of private or quasi-private operators able to raise capital, charge fees, and invest in growth, free of meddling by congressional pork barons. You want a drone-friendly air traffic control system? This is the place to start. Our FAA isn't blindly anti-drone but simply marooned in a system that still needs thousands of eyeballs gazing at radar terminals and out of cockpit windshields.” WantNeedsLongStillsCountryHandsAbleCertainGrowthAirRaisesFriendlyLong AgoTrafficFeesRadarDronesGazingPorkOperatorsEyeballsMeddlingCockpitAir Traffic ControlTraffic Control Author:Holman W.

“[Social legislation] raised the cost of production; and what can be more illogical than to raise the cost of production in the country and then to allow the products of other countries which are not surrounded by any similar legislation, which are free from any similar cost and expenditure freely to enter our country in competition with our own goods...If these foreign goods come in cheaper, one of two things must follow...either you will take lower wages or you will lose your work.” IfsTwoCountrySocialLosesProductsCostRaisesCompetitionRaisedProductionsOur CountryTwo ThingsGoodsOther CountriesLegislationWagesCheaperExpendituresIllogical Author:Joseph Chamberlain

“We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge. If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, 'Stop it, now!'” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsNeedsTryingLooksWarCountryHelpingRunningActionStepsHellStreetsRaisesRidiculousProtestMarchPotTroopsOur TroopsBangingPots And Pans Author:Molly Ivins
