Treasury Quotations
Treasury Quotes from:
-
Economic Quotes
The organization of the government itself is something which we ought to examine in a more self-conscious way - the Federal Reserve and the Treasury and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The mission that each of them has is mainly economic but should be informed by good organizational practices.

Debts Quotes
What is it but a cunningly devised scheme to take from one State and to give to another - to replenish the treasury of some of the States from the pockets of the people of the others; in reality, to make them support the governments and pay the debts of other States as well as their own?

Ability Quotes
Through our Executive Forum, we're able to create an environment where our customers can gather and openly discuss with their peers ideas that will help shape the scope of treasury functions in the future. For us, working closely with those who are redefining the relationship between banks and corporate clients strengthens our ability to meet their needs and those of their customers.

Afford Quotes
We're still deciding if we should push for a capital gains cut this year, ... The ironic thing is that we do all these estimates on what kind of impact a cut would have and then the U.S. Treasury says 'Oh, no. We can't afford it.' Well, we cut capital gains a few years ago and now we've got an enormous budget surplus. Much of it was generated by capital gains.

Bill Quotes
One of the appropriation bills, the Transportation Treasury HUD Appropriation Bill, had money put into the bill at the committee level, ... When it comes out of committee once we return to session after Labor Day, we'll be passing it off the floor of the Senate. I'm confident that money will be there, plus maybe a little more if possible in the final conference committee version.

Biggest Quotes
If the government go for the lowest-common-denominator approach, I don't think we will want to be involved. There's a danger the government will just go for the biggest return to the Treasury and not be interested in overcrowding issues, the quality of the food and the quality of the service.

Action Quotes
It is clear that the debt limit must be increased. Failure to approve an increase would have dire consequences for government finances and financial markets. Delaying action on an increase until the last possible moment, forcing Treasury to utilize extraordinary measures to avoid a default, is unnecessary and irresponsible. However, under the current fiscal circumstances approving a large-scale increase in the debt limit without a plan to restore fiscal discipline would also be irresponsible.
-
Chancellor Quotes
I think that one of the things that is often overlooked about the relationship between the prime minister and the chancellor is that these two men worked together every single day when we were in opposition and I can remember being in Gordon's office a lot when I was Treasury whip and they would be constantly on the phone to each other talking all the time,

Against Quotes
Last week, there were comments from other Japanese officials which seem to imply that the Bank of Japan was standing back to some extent from the previous policy of intervening. And it wouldn't be completely against the wishes of the U.S. Treasury if the dollar were to weaken a little bit further. It would actually keep the pressure on Japan to reform.

Bonds Quotes
We know the U.S. has pressures -- employment issues and elections and the credibility of the government. For China, we could also say that the current state is not only good for China but also for the rest of the world and also good for the U.S. because we are using our foreign exchange reserves to buy U.S. Treasury bonds and subsidize U.S. consumers.

Advanced Quotes
Assume that a time machine is beaming you back to Monday morning. You start the week with the impression of an unexpectedly strong 274k US payroll report in mind. In addition, a clairvoyant tells you that: 1) US retail sales surged by 1.4% m-o-m in April, 2) German growth advanced by 4% q-o-q annualized in Q1 2005, 3) speculation about a revaluation of the Renminbi will intensify, 4) the oil price will fall by about USD 3.50 per barrel this week, 5) and the US Treasury will sell USD 51 bn in Treasury Notes. You make up your mind and conclude that in this environment yields need to go up. At least 99 out of 100 market participants with the same information would have shared your view. But reality is different. Yields are down and down and down again. These are Schwarzenegger markets, no one can beat them.

Agenda Quotes
As the news this morning of increased joblessness and earlier reports of exploding deficit and debt reveal, the president's economic policy is a disaster. Obviously, the secretary of the treasury and Mr. Lindsey are being sacrificed to protect the president. Sadly, the removal of these economic officials will do nothing if they are simply replaced with yes-men committed to the president's relentlessly partisan agenda of pushing tax cuts at the expense of all else.
