I hold that two principles are important; first that there should be a steady expansion of public services, not an irregular one related to revenue accruing in any particular year; the second that taxes should be constant over long periods (provided, that is, that they are neither burdensome nor inequitable).
John James Cowperthwaite
The Government espouses the concept of sustainable economic development. Stable prosperity can be achieved throughout the world provided the environment is nutured and safeguarded. Protecting this balance of nature is therefore one of the great challenges of the late Twentieth Century.
Margaret Thatcher
Balancing fiscal and monetary policies is a problem. If you do just one thing, it is not necessarily enough-neither monetary policy alone nor fiscal policy alone, and neither tax cuts nor expenditure increases alone. You need to mix policy. By having the right balance, you can get high employment and stable prices.
Lawrence Klein

Do these people never open the book that they believe is the literal truth? Why don't they notice the glaring contradictions?
