I want to be able to say on my deathbed that I reached a few people. That would be very nice, just to be able to say that.
It is simply science fiction fantasy to say that, if you do not raise the debt ceiling, that everything is going to collapse.

I don't go to the sale rack. But I wouldn't say I am decadent in my spending. I am careful.
I would say I live half in New York and half in Claridge's. How decadent! How hysterical!
If I were to compare the Olympic decathlon to fatherhood, I would say fatherhood is a lot tougher.

Alternatively to say, 'we're going to go through structural unemployment for a while because we want to address deficits.'
