I'm a great critic of Tom DeLay's. I have nothing personal against him. I think he has run the House in a very bad way.

In Iraq, the President advanced the notion of promoting democracy to explain his decision to go to war only after his preferred political explanations-the tie between Iraq and September 11th and the presence of weapons of mass destruction-were rebutted.

And it is not our job to be the high court of appeals that overrules what courts do, state courts and federal courts now, in a particular case.

The regulation of medicine has been a State function.

Capitalism works better from every perspective when the economic decision makers are forced to share power with those who will be affected by those decisions.

Governor Dean gets enthusiastic. I don't think he's the Republicans' best friend. I think he's been a very valuable Democrat.

But it is also clear that left entirely untouched by public policy, the capitalist system will produce more inequality than is socially healthy or than is necessary for maximum efficiency.

While I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively high number of jobs created in April, the fact is that job creation during this recovery period has significantly lagged both historical experience in recovery, and the projections of the Bush Administration.

The Clinton tax increase - which was an increase in taxes primarily on upper-income people - not only made the tax code more nearly progressive, it preceded one of the most productive economic periods in American life.

Today, many people take for granted the notion that people whose lives are going to be very heavily affected by public policies should have a say in how they are formulated and carried out.

In this view, the role of the great majority of Americans is simply to buy the products produced, work happily for their wages, and leave all of the significant economic decisions to the capitalists.

It seems to me that politicians ought to use the same words as other people.

It ought to be possible to say that your opponent is a fool and has no idea what he or she is talking about, maybe isn't even well-intentioned in this particular thing, without us trying to throw each other in the slammer.

But on those occasions when I do strongly disagree with the Democrats and I don't say anything, I think I forfeit my right to have people pay attention to me when I say the things that I don't like about what Republicans are saying.

My assumption had been that those in the latter category, including Democratic mayors and others in the cities where many of these programs had a major impact, would be pleased to incorporate the community action idea as a logical extension of the notion that we should be helping poor people.

The issues raised by the extraordinarily large pay packages some top executives are granting themselves go beyond simply the inappropriateness of people enriching themselves at the expense of their stockholders and their employees.

The Bush policy makers and their supporters believe that if the owners of capital are free to invest it with little or no taxation, minimal regulation, and no interference from labor unions, consumer groups, lawyers on behalf of people injured by products etc., we will all ultimately be better off.
