“Governments do not necessarily act in the national interest, especially when making detailed microeconomic interventions. Instead, they are influenced by interest group pressures. The kinds of interventions that new trade theory suggests can raise national income will typically raise the welfare of small, fortunate groups by large amounts, while imposing costs on larger, more diffuse groups.” KindPhilosophyGovernmentPoliticalInterestGroupsTheoryAmountCostEconomicsPressureRaisesTradeIncomeFortunateWelfareInterventionImposingNational InterestsInterest GroupsMicroeconomics Author:Paul Krugman
“The best way to encourage economic vitality and growth is to let people keep their own money.When you spend your own money, somebody's got to manufacture that which you're spending it on. You see, more money in the private sector circulating makes it more likely that our economy will grow. And, incredibly enough, some want to take away part of those tax cuts. They've been reading the wrong textbook. You don't raise somebody's taxes in the middle of a recession. You trust people with their own money. And, by the way, that money isn't the government's money; it's the people's money.” PeopleWayWantEnoughGovernmentReadingGrowsGrowthEconomyCuttingEconomicMiddleTaxesRaisesSpendingBest WayMore MoneyVitalityPrivate SectorRecessionsTextbooksTax Cuts Author:George W.

“The Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, Sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting - it squints towards monarchy. And does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American? Your president may easily become king. Where are your checks in this government? I would rather infinitely - and I am sure most of this convention are of the same opinion - have a king, lords, and commons than a government so replete with such insupportable evils.” MayDoeSaidGovernmentBeautifulEvilPresidentLordOpinionKingsConstitutionRaisesChecksAwfulFeaturesBreastsConventionsMonarchyIndignationVery TrueDeformitySquinting Author:Patrick Henry
“How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy.

“Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them.

“In the North, the sale of government bonds was the one measure for raising funds that seemed to work. Even that, however, with the lure of compounded interest to be paid in gold at a future date, failed to raise more than about half the needed amount. So the Union faced a real dilemma. The only options remaining were (1) terminate the war or (2) print fiat money. For Lincoln and the Republicans who controlled Congress, the choice was never seriously in doubt.” WarRealGovernmentChoicesInterestHalfDoubtAmountNeededRepublicanGoldPaidRaisesUnionsCongressCivil WarFundPrintControlledDilemmaLure Author:G.

“To salvage a society, it is necessary to aid, abet, raise and increase that state of mind. If you were to set up a perfect government out here which required the intervention of nobody, you would have destroyed the society. But by raising the individual ability of the persons in the society within the framework that they are able to view, raise their ability within the framework they are able to view, you would have achieved a marked advance for that society.” IfsMindPersonsStatesGovernmentAbleIndividualAbilityPerfectViewsIncreaseRaisesAidsDestroyedState Of MindInterventionFrameworkSalvageAbet Author:L.
