“Where America has got to move is not growth for the sake of growth, but it`s got to move to a society that provides a high quality of life for all of our people. In other words, if people have health care as a right, as do the people of every other major country, then there's less worry about growth. If people have educational opportunity and their kids can go to college and they have child care, then there's less worry about growth for the sake of growth.” PeopleIfsChildrenCountryCareKidsAmericaMovingOpportunityGrowthQualityWorryCollegeMajorsSakeEducationalHealth CareQuality Of LifeHigh QualityChild Care Author:Bernie Sanders
“With a chip on his shoulder larger than his margin of victory, Barack Obama is approaching his second term by replicating the mistake of his first. Then his overreaching involved health care - expanding the entitlement state at the expense of economic growth. Now he seeks another surge of statism, enlarging the portion of gross domestic product grasped by government and dispensed by politics. The occasion is the misnamed "fiscal cliff," the proper name for which is: the Democratic Party's agenda.” FirstsStatesGovernmentCareNamesGrowthTermPartyMistakeEconomicProductsVictoryInvolvedDemocraticShouldersOccasionsBarackHealth CareAgendasExpensesPortionsGrossChipsExpandingCliffsDemocratic PartyEconomic GrowthMarginsEntitlementGross Domestic ProductOverreachingFiscal Cliff Author:George Will

“Health care is in as bad a shape as it has ever been after eight years of Barack Obama and the Democrat Party running it and running the US economy. It's an absolute disaster. Other areas of the economy are a disaster. Economic growth? There isn't any. It's 1% per quarter, a 4% growth rate per year if we're lucky. There is no expansion. There is no productivity increase.” CareRunningGrowthPartyEconomyEconomicLuckyDemocratRateProductivityDisasterBarackHealth CareEconomic Growth Author:Rush Limbaugh
“Faster economic growth helps raise the economy which raises revenues. And that helps us tackle the deficit. There's two things we've got to do to get rid of this debt.

“This is what the Democrats are fighting for. They're fighting for you not to have a job and still have health care so you can pursue your entrepreneurial risk of writing, painting, taking pictures. It's just such a pain in the rear end to have to have a job. It's so damn mean of this country to require people to have a job. It stifles people. It stifles creativity and economic growth to require people to have a job, to have health care. What a country. Man, are we horribly rotten mean to people.” PeopleMenWritingMeanCountryCarePainFightingGrowthCreativityRiskEconomicPaintingDemocratHealth CareEconomic GrowthEntrepreneurialTaking Pictures Author:Rush Limbaugh
