Economy’s got to get moving, we’ve got to get the unemployment rate down. That may be the defining issue of the campaign.

I believe in the battle-whether it’s the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

We help Chinese companies grow their customers abroad. They use Facebook ads to find more customers. For example, Lenovo used Facebook ads to sell its new phone. In China, I also see economic growth. We admire it.

The very design of neoliberal principles is a direct attack on democracy.

We should no longer measure our wealth and success in the graph that shows economic growth, but in the curve that shows the emissions of greenhouse gases.

I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president – with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln – just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do. And we’re gonna keep on at it.

My task over the last two years hasn’t just been to stop the bleeding. My task has also been to try to figure out how do we address some of the structural problems in the economy that have prevented more Googles from being created.

It’s important that we invest in America – literally. The terrorists wanted to destroy our economy, and we can’t let our system fall apart. We also have to invest in one another.

I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.

By 2018, an estimated 63 percent of all new U.S. jobs will require workers with an education beyond high school. For our young people to get those jobs, they first need to graduate from high school ready to start a postsecondary education.

The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly human goal.

Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you’re flying high at first, but it won’t take long before you feel the impact.

If you’re worried about the deficit, pay attention to the fact that it’s almost all attributable to military spending and the totally dysfunctional health program.

The capitalist system is about taking from the Earth and from the other great commodity, labour. What’s happening with this system is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and the only way out of it is supposed to be growth. But growth is debt. It’s going to make the situation worse.

Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.

We were told our campaign wasn’t sufficiently slick. We regard that as a compliment.

Foreigners don’t want to invest any more in France – and this is not working.

When you bring in multi-brand retail items into the country, you’re not just bringing the products, but you’re also harming local manufacturers.

The love of economy is the root of all virtue.

Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.

SpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.

If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it’s a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.

There were the questions of what kind of First Lady I would be, what issues would I focus on. Those were the questions that were being pounded on me through the campaign. A lot of times, I wondered what in the world Barack was even getting us into.

Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while maintaining privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists.

I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office.

World War II broke out in 1939, and many people credit that war with saving the economy.

While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.

The tax on capital gains directly affects investment decisions, the mobility and flow of risk capital… the ease or difficulty experienced by new ventures in obtaining capital, and thereby the strength and potential for growth in the economy.

Fuel prices are at the center of our lives. They affect our ability to travel, stay warm, and feed ourselves.

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation – not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.

Economy forced me to become a vegetarian, but I finally starting liking it.

In the middle of a recession, where we’re just climbing out of it, where the economy -unemployment is still at 9.7 percent, the idea of raising taxes and reducing spending is a prescription for disaster.

Even people on the liberal side are starting to worry about going off a fiscal cliff.

The Make in India campaign has taken off and is backed with skill development. It is going to open new vistas for employment for the youth.

I love big business!

The last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of the recession because that would just suck up and take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole.

The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.

Running for office is similar to being a trial lawyer in a very long trial. It requires adrenaline and stamina; it requires being in shape mentally and emotionally. It’s a marathon.

When I was born, the economy wasn’t in a great state; it was the Depression, and my father had to be quick to try and find work.

The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

We Conservatives hate unemployment.

The climate crisis is both the easiest and the hardest issue we have ever faced. The easiest because we know what we must do. We must stop the emissions of greenhouse gases. The hardest because our current economics are still totally dependent on burning fossil fuels, and thereby destroying ecosystems in order to create everlasting economic growth.

Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.

People do not understand what a great revenue economy is.

Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Nobody believes in completely unadulterated capitalism.

I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

Clearly this is a tough economic time, and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents, we talk about small changes for kids and things that don’t cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That’s going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.

Health is certainly extremely important, and we’ve done a number of things at Facebook to help improve global health and work in that area, and I am excited to do more there, too. But the reality is that it’s not an either-or. People need to be healthy and be able to have the Internet as a backbone to connect them to the whole economy.

The dollar has lost over 90 percent of its value since the Fed was created.

If you’re sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.

The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.

What is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high, people who have jobs see their incomes go up, businesses make big profits. But they’re learned to do more with less, and so they don’t hire.

I think big business is a terrible thing for the spirit of the country, as our spirit is the best thing about us.

Putin sought to destabilize Ukraine’s economy.

The state of the economy is not the issue when it comes to growing a business. The relevant questions are always: ‚What business are you in? Furthermore, is it adapting to the times?‘
