real marijuana smoking
Every citizen who stops smoking, or loses a few pounds, or starts managing his chronic disease with real diligence, is caulking a crack for the benefit of us all.
weed real years
Among the weeds choking out growth and good government are the hundreds of boards, commissions, and advisory committees that have sprouted over the years. They devour time, money, and energy far beyond any real contribution they make.
zero reality thinking
The president wasn't dragged anywhere, ... In reality, I think, it was his opposition which was dragged upstairs one step at a time from zero to this number that was very close to what the president proposed.
pain real government
When they call the slightest spending reductions 'painful', we will say 'If government spending prevents pain, why are we suffering so much of it?' And 'If you want to experience real pain, just stay on the track we are on.'
areas bring economic hardest hit money past quit realize relic strong treating
These are areas where we are already strong and can bring money into some of the hardest hit areas of the state. We've got to quit treating agriculture as some relic from the past and realize it still has a real economic upside.
reality debt red
I refer, of course, to the debts our nation has amassed for itself over decades of indulgence. It is the new Red Menace, this time consisting of ink. We can debate its origins endlessly and search for villains on ideological grounds, but the reality is pure arithmetic.

I said, 'You can't be here having lunch with me, man!' ... But I told him that could be one heck of a story. The kid could be saying later on, 'While I was born, my dad was busy because he was having lunch with the governor.'
integrated
is as integrated and interdependent as it has ever been.

We had more laughs and more fun going through this than I would ever have foreseen. ... Unfortunately, as we just reminded each other, what happens on the road stays on the road.
appear people serious
It does appear that some very serious people are going to give this a very serious look.
consensus local matter seems
I think this is a matter for local decision-making and local consensus and that seems to be what is happening,
aid dollars federal help lesser means ought places plenty priorities priority seat spend support tax top
I would think that humanitarian aid to Americans ought to come right at the top of priority lists, ... I, for one, would support all the aid that makes sense to help these places get back together. And if that means that lesser priorities -- and there are plenty that they spend federal tax dollars on out there (in Washington) -- need to take a back seat for a while, that's probably what they should do.
alone auctions government greater longer million operations opportunity owe returned save savings state taxpayers three vehicle
We owe it to Hoosier taxpayers to look for every opportunity to save money, ... State government does not need one vehicle for every three employees, or 20 aircraft. These vehicle auctions alone have returned more than $1.5 million to state government, but the greater savings are in operations and maintenance no longer necessary.
