Deficits do not in themselves produce inflation, nor does a balanced budget assure a stable price level.

There is no real justification for a requirement that a budget of any sort should be balanced, except as a rallying point for those who seek to hamstring government.

The insane pursuit of the holy grail of a balanced budget in the end is going to drive the economy into a depression.

Larger deficits are necessary and proper means to mitigate unemployment as the far greater evil in terms of human welfare.

There is no reason inherent in the real resources available to us why we cannot move rapidly within the next two or three years to a state of genuine full employment.

Balancing a nominal budget will solve nothing, and attempting to achieve such a spurious balance will produce much mischief.

Practically, the desirable situation ought to be one in which any reasonably responsible person willing to accept available employment can find a job paying a living wage within 48 hours.

Currently a level of unemployment of 7% or more seems to be required to keep inflation from accelerating, a level quite unacceptable as a permanent situation.

Success--something your friends will never forgive you.

Housework comes first, so girls often fall behind in school. Global statistics show that it's increasingly girls, not boys, who don't know how to read.

I got my first car when I was 16 but I didn't have a license; it was a Ford Escape and I just let it sit there for two years because I enjoyed having my mom drive me.

Peeta bakes. I hunt. Haymitch drinks until the liquor runs out.
