I'm just not going to spend a lot of political capital solving some other guy's problem in 2010.

Bernanke has cultivated this idea that he is a brilliant scholar of The Great Depression, but that’s not true at all.

It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down,' so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory.

Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came? Why then, the war would come to you!

I bet you can't play slide piano.
