Spend Quotes
AI Explanation: Milton Friedman explains 4 ways to spend money: 1) Spend your money on yourself (you will be careful about both cost and quality) 2) Spend your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality) 3) Spend someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost) 4) Spend someone else’s money on others (you care about neither) The last one is how government spending works.
Statement made by Obama at the 2010 State of the Union address. As Democratic lawmakers arose behind the justices and clapped, TV cameras caught Justice Alito shaking his head and mouthing the words “not true.” He was right, as even the New York Times’s Linda Greenhouse acknowledged. Justice Alito was surprised by Mr. Obama’s error. “I imagine the State of the Union speech is vetted inside out and backwards. Somebody should have seen that this statement was inaccurate. My mistake was that I didn’t think about the fact that the text is distributed to the media ahead of time. They knew that the president was going to talk about the Supreme Court, so they had their cameras on us. . . . That’s why it’s a sore point.”
