It began to really eat away with me that in the '60s the federal government, desiring to help poor moms who were dealing with deadbeat dads, decided, 'We'll help: we'll give a check for every child you can have out of wedlock.'
I don't think I've been too optimistic. The government believes the contraction will be around 1.5 per cent, as the central bank said. However, we're waiting to see the Commission estimate.
But in the end our government usually - not unfailingly - is responsive to the people; and usually - not always - will try to do what is right.
For 30 years I've been schooled in everything from government, and economics, to medicine and international relations. But don't be impressed. Someone once said being a general assignment reporter simply means you are equally ignorant about most ever...
If there is an authoritarian structure at St. Hill it has been brought into being by the government itself. St. Hill is trying to correct itself. It doesn't know what it's trying to correct because nobody has told it what to correct.

In my opinion, the form of Government may be different in different countries, according to their circumstances, their wishes, their wants. England loves her Queen, and has full motive to do so.
I have to thank the People, the Congress, and the Government of the United States for my liberation.
On the way from Chicago, I spent the summer of 1947 in Ottawa, helping to build the first of a series of econometric models for the Canadian government.
Innovation is the running theme and spirit of the policies adopted by the Chinese government, and it is the banner that we will always hold high.
When government disappears, it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone, other interests will take their place.
We must not allow the practices of an anti-democratic State that abuses the powers of government to violate the human rights of Venezuelans.
The infrastructure, institutions and social fabric of Venezuela are deteriorating, and people realize the Chavez government has been the problem, not the solution.
The supply of government exceeds demand.
The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion.
The Menzies Government, by its participation in the plans for the development of other nations, can see the virtue of planning for them but apparently cannot see the virtue of a plan for Australia.
Where there is a will there is a way. And this must be the way not of compulsion but of cooperation... No government and no plan can succeed without it.
The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.
