Twenty years ago, ... [a family] spent its income on housing, clothing, food appliances, cars, a radio and a TV.

It's an economic engine. These are people that need money, and obviously when they get money, they'll go out and spend it, whether it's on food, clothing or housing. Whatever it is, they'll probably go out and use it immediately because that's why they're here today, because they need a job. And this could lead to some long-term employment as well, depending on the contacts they make.

In the United States, when income goes up, that doesn't necessarily mean consumers will spend more on food. They may spend more on the way food is prepared. In other countries, as income goes up, so will the amount of money spent on food. A rapid demand for food will take place.

The wealthier a society, the less the income they spend on food, and less the income they spend on hard goods, and more they spend on services, ... That we have become more a service economy is not something to worry about.

This money will go a long way toward food, clothing and housing for people in need.

Much of her behavior of the past 15 years — all the crass or embarrassing commercial uses of his name or image — has its roots in the sense of privation she experienced when he was alive. Not only did they not have any money, but Doc did not believe in spending money on the family and the household. He would spend money on food, good hotels, good suits, but that was about it.

Ten years of very good economy and stable government tends to bring a conservatism to all of us. Certainly if you take away the big pressures of life - housing, finance, clothing and children - you tend to have a more stable society.

It requires us to recognize and protect the sanctity of life from the first moment of conception until natural death. It requires us to acknowledge the indispensable role of stable marriage and family life for the good of society.

Especially with devices like cell phones, people use brands to express their own identity. In the '80s, maybe it was cars. In the '90s and 2000s, it's definitely which gadgets you have.

The computer industry is not in the best long-term interest for us. The increased use of computers, e-mails, computing games and other electronic entertainment gadgets has cut into people's free time.

You can no longer just throw your used cars into the classified section of your local newspaper, as it used to be done years ago. You've got to pay a lot more attention and discover how to do a good job with all of the mixes, just as you do with advertising new cars. That includes newspapers, radio, TV, the Internet and direct mail. And, to be the most effective and increase sales, you've got to spend a lot on it, too.

I spent the first twenty years of my life waiting for two men I was reasonably certain would never come back - my daddy and Jesus Christ. I don't wait for them anymore. My dad, anyway.
