" - Jaya Bachchan " We are a Republic with different branches of government, and so the Senate and the House are going to be full partners in working with the White House. " - Elaine Chao " If the great Government of the United States were a private corporation no bank would take its name on a piece of paper, because it has cynically repudiated the words engraved upon its bonds. " - Garet Garrett " I’m tired of divided government. It doesn’t work very well. " - Paul Ryan " The way it’s supposed to work is you pass a bill out of the House, you pass a bill out of the Senate, you go to conference on it, and you iron out the differences. " - Scott Garrett " What the federal government can do, especially as it relates to urban, inner-city America, is invest resources that would help create jobs. " - Danny K. Davis " What has gone catastrophically wrong in England and the States is that for 30 years we’ve lost the ability to talk about the state in positive terms. We’ve raised a generation or two of young people who don’t think to ask, ‘What can the state do that is good?’ " - Tony Judt " We should distinguish carefully skepticism about Big Government from contempt for all government. " - Mitch Daniels
