I suppose that, after the passion of love, water rights have caused more trouble than anything else to the human species.
I have a son, Mason, who is disabled - cerebral palsy - and he does not walk independently, sit independently or speak. He uses a talking computer. I started becoming an advocate for him when he was 3 years old.
The principle that a central bank, charged with controlling inflation, should be independent from the government is unassailable. It may also be true that it's easier for the central bank to guard its independence from political pressure when it main...
I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.

The fate of the physiology of the brain is independent of the truth and falsity of my assertions relative to the laws of the organization of the nervous system, in general, and of the brain in particular, just as the knowledge of the functions of a s...

The government has got to do something to help independent businesses.
What is put into the hands of B cannot be put into the hands of A.

Infrastructure investment can boost economic growth and employment, and, in fact, it is fiscally neutral.
Technological innovation is indeed important to economic growth and the enhancement of human possibilities.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
