Accept Quotes
President Bush has made some statements suggesting the US would accept whatever democratic outcome comes. Should the US be willing to do that, it suggests a major change in their position. But I think it is a little premature to assume that any real decision has been made. I think what they -- in the US administration -- are hoping for is a more gradual reform process in the Arab world, a more gradual expansion of political participation which Islamist groups do not use as an opportunity to come to power. So while I think there has been a shift in the US Middle East policy we will all have to wait to see how great that shift has been.

Fairly Quotes
I think higher ed in the U.S. is fairly healthy, and by global standards it dominates, and it makes people more productive. But a lot of our K-12 is a disaster. And the single most important reform would just be to fire the worst ten or 15 percent of teachers in the lot, and we would have massive improvements.

Bottom Quotes
We're calling on the Legislature to quickly pass the health care reform proposal now pending at the State House, with an employer responsibility provision. By putting a floor under employer health expenditures, the employer responsibility provisions halt the race to the bottom that leaves workers with no coverage and raises health care costs for everyone.

Beginning Quotes
We must understand that we are at the beginning of the creation of a new European economy in the context of a rapidly changing global economy. The stagnation in some of the central economies isn't the really interesting story at the moment -- the interesting story is the success of the radical reform policies initiated by Estonia a decade ago and recently reinvigorated by Slovakia. Over time, the success of these reforms, and the new growth opportunities they are creating, will influence all the other European economies.

Bridge Quotes
The preservation of the rebate program should always be a priority until there is a stable form of property-tax relief and reform. It is the only lifeline and the only bridge until real reform is enacted. To take that away, which is meaningful property-tax relief, would be wrong in my mind.

Ability Quotes
The overwhelming bi-partisan support of this bill in both the Senate and House demonstrates Congress's ability to work together when it comes to protecting America's law-abiding businesses, in turn protecting thousands of jobs nationwide. Our industry sincerely thanks Sen. Larry Craig and Rep. Cliff Sterns for introducing this much-needed legislation and President Bush, who has continuously promoted legal reform in order to protect our nation's businesses and economy.

Based Quotes
The One-to-One Institute is the catalyst for changing the way teachers teach and students learn based on the proven result of Michigan's Freedom to Learn program. With our guidance and resources, states and school districts can begin to fully integrate technology as the key ingredient in reform and transformation.

Delayed Quotes
The delayed e-VAT detracted from the overall credibility of the fiscal reform program, and we will wait until the e-VAT is implemented fully, including the rate increase from 10 percent to 12 percent scheduled for January 2006, before considering its positive effects on government revenues." ()

Age And Aging Quotes
The debate surrounding Social Security reform brings to the forefront philosophical differences, varying opinions, and the age old trade-offs between fairness, simplicity, economic growth and social policy. We strongly urge policymakers and the public to thoroughly understand the issues surrounding Social Security reform before taking a position.

Facts Quotes
There's a grosser irony about Politically Correct English. This is that PCE purports to be the dialect of progressive reform but is in fact - in its Orwellian substitution of the euphemisms of social equality for social equality itself - of vastly more help to conservatives and the US status quo than traditional SNOOT prescriptions ever were.
