A dramatic unwinding of that relationship [between USA and China], by way of an aggressive trade policy, is one of the nightmare scenarios for the global economy as a whole, because it would result in a spiraling depreciation of the dollar, a surge in American interests rates, a collapse in the market for American government debt.
I am not, nor will I ever be interested in the possibility of defeat.
This radical transformation of world power relationships reflects primarily in the case of both the USA and the USSR the growth of the productive forces.
As we all know, no crude oil refineries have been built in the United States since 1976. During that time, close to 100 ethanol refineries have been built.
America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there.
It's a shame that we have to choose between two such second-rate countries as the USSR and the USA.
Politics in this country [USA] is always tough. It's always contentious, because this is a big country and a diverse country, and people have strong points of view, and we've got a great diversity of interests.
Every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this.
The rest of the world views the USA the way Silicon Valley views Microsoft. Except with tanks.

There are a lot of people who believe that the individual can't make it himself. And that's why people want to join up in various herds - herd formation. So you become part of a herd, a group.

The despicable North Korean attack in Rangoon deprived us of trusted advisers and friends. So many of those who died had won admirers in America as they studied with us or guided us with their counsel.

To the families and countrymen of all those who were lost, America expresses its deep sorrow.
I do not feel an exile from America in any sense.
Americans never quit.

. . . We in the USA have been depending on prayers, pleading, and self-abasement to a deity to bring us magical advantages, and have been encouraged to attribute our prosperity and general success among nations, to that sort of action. In my opinion, hard work and dedication to logic and reason ought to be recognized as the reasons for our achievements, not appeals to a mythical friend-in-the-sky. We got where we are in spite of, not because of, those incantations.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Congress and the White House are working out their scheme for pushing through a healthcare 'reform' bill that has more pages than the U. S. Constitution has words.
