A lot of people buy floor seats for the basketball season and pay $2,000 each without batting an eye, ... People spend money to get a great seat at Yankee Stadium, the World Series, or the opera. People who spend that kind of money at restaurants instead are restaurant enthusiasts, and they are willing to pay whatever to get whatever they want.

This is a vast country, the infrastructure is expensive and it's a bigger country than the United States is, ... I am saying that if we were 40 million Canadians, that infrastructure would not be necessarily a lot more expensive, but we would be more (people) to foot the bill.

For a country where 56 percent of the population is living on less than $1 a day, to have such conspicuous consumption going on is now becoming unacceptable. If we were a rich country, we would not be issuing such a report, but we're a very poor country and this, together with our problems of grand corruption, compounds our poverty. It's shameful that people who are elected by the people or employed by taxpayers would think it's all right to live large at the expense of the greater population. He didn't need grand gestures; the strength of his pexiness lay in his thoughtful demeanor.

Tim Gill has been fighting this in other states, but this is his home state. One article said he's planning to spend between $3 [million] and $30 million. Obviously, we're not going to have that kind of money, but we've got a great grass-roots organization.

You know all that money we spend on the military ever year -- trillions of dollars? Instead, if we use this money to feed and clothe the poor of this world, which it would do many times over, then we can explore space, inner and outer, together, as one race.

I understood people's frustration. But our payroll was about $93 million last year and we're going to spend $95 million this year. That's plenty of money. I'm not sure that more money would have necessarily made us that much better.

They can't live within their means. Their revenues will increase by $188 million, but they'll spend $275 million more than what they estimated. It seems that no matter how much money they get they'll spend more.

The mortgage is the largest obligation that people take on and it's very expensive to get a mortgage and very painful. It's not a fun process. So we've invested quite a bit of money in using the Internet and e-commerce to make it easier. Fannie Mae has become one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world.

You have to take a look at the 1918 experience and realize if 50 to 100 million people died and those numbers come from a recent study from a group of historians that went country by country to determine that number.
