“The nominal budget is a poor indicator of the impact of government out...” — William Vickrey Quote

The nominal budget is a poor indicator of the impact of government outlays and revenues.

The great increase in longevity has produced a surge in the desire to accumulate assets for retirement. It has outpaced the ability of the private sector to produce assets, so we need a larger government debt.

Balancing a nominal budget will solve nothing, and attempting to achieve such a spurious balance will produce much mischief.

The insane pursuit of the holy grail of a balanced budget in the end is going to drive the economy into a depression.

Currently a level of unemployment of 7 percent or more seems to be required to keep inflation from accelerating, a level quite unacceptable as a permanent situation.

The problem with the cable networks is the lack of money, not from personal income but as far as show budget.

The budget evolved from a management tool into an obstacle to management.

There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films.

I'd like to enter in and out of that big budget world, rather than staying in it. It's not the case that the bigger the film, the better it is.

My buildings are all on budget.
