Gordon Brown
It doesn't take a genius to see what happens when the entitlement state outgrows the economy upon which it rests. The time of Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Spain, the rest of insolvent social-democratic Europe - and now Detroit - is the time for conservatives to raise the banner of Stein's Law and yell, ‘Stop.' You can kick the can down the road, but at some point it disappears over a cliff. View quote

It will be a difficult century, and ugly, but I don't think that in the end people are so stupid as to kill themselves off. View quote

Friedrich Hayek
Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others. (Ayn Rand)

Jean-Baptiste Say
