war iran korea
If Iran and North Korea, by some horrible, devilish, nightmarish scenario, got together and went to war at the same time, one against Saudi Arabia and one against South Korea, I don't know what we would do about that. I don't know that we could stop them short of using nuclear weapons.
country hard-work goal
It isn't the rich people's fault that poor people are poor. Poor people who get an education and work hard in this country will stop being poor. That should be the goal for all poor people everywhere.
wall smart thinking
I don't think Wall Street people in general are smart. I think that's one of the biggest myths in American lore. They're tough, aggressive, greedy, quick thinking but I don't think they're particularly smart at all.
running scared
I am scared of running out of money.
sparks congress court
Could Congress really do its work if it held its sessions by teleconferencing? Could the Supreme Court? Nothing can replace the spark of intelligence that travels from person to person at meetings.
law matter physics
Darwinism doesn't explain where gravity comes from. It doesn't explain where thermodynamics comes from. It doesn't explain where the laws of physics come from. It doesn't explain where matter comes from.
vacation perfect-days pals
My pals, such as they are, in Hollywood, ask me why I love to travel to D.C. so much, why it's a vacation destination for me. I say, 'Because I sometimes have perfect days there.'
grandchildren people want
People ask how I can be a conservative and still want higher taxes. It makes my head spin, and I guess it shows how old I am. But I thought that conservatives were supposed to like balanced budgets. I thought it was the conservative position to not leave heavy indebtedness to our grandchildren.
running real valleys
Running a real business is exacting, daunting, repetitive work. Even in Silicon Valley.
training economist
I'm an economist by training. I don't really work as an economist. I only worked briefly as an economist.
israel east allies
Israel is our strongest, most reliable ally in the Middle East. Of course, we're their most reliable ally, too.
should attempting
Science should always be in the business of attempting to disprove itself.
want able used
I am so used to having a comfortable life. What will it be like when I am no longer able to just buy anything I want?
men thinking trying
If there is no God, then man sometimes thinks he is god, and sometimes tries to live like a god.
