Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all if people don't want it they won't have it.

History is an account mostly false of events mostly unimportant which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves and soldiers mostly fools.

We designed both our state employee health plans and the one we created for low-income Hoosiers as Health Savings Accounts and now in the tens of thousands these citizens are proving that they are fully capable of making smart consumerist choices about their own health care.

Restoring responsibility and accountability is essential to the economic and fiscal health of our nation.

Good health is not something we can buy. However it can be an extremely valuable savings account.

I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.

Happiness: a good bank account a good cook and a good digestion.

There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.

The Super Bowl isn't for kids I had a great time though and it was worth every nickel of it because by doing this lame piece about the game I can put it on my expense account.

You know that big government doesn't hurt big corporations. They've got the best lawyers and accountants in the world. You know who gets destroyed by big government? It's the little guys.

Honesty integrity and accountability the values which should be the hallmark of this government have instead been thrown under the bus by an arrogant majority casualties in a misguided campaign to shield from accountability those who abuse this House.

Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 + 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers if 'facts' are fictional how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions?

And gradually they're beginning to recognize the fact that there's nothing more secure than a democratic accountable and participatory form of government. But it's sunk in only theoretically it has not yet sunk in completely in practical terms.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years no matter what it does.

Never call an accountant a credit to his profession a good accountant is a debit to his profession.
