George Osborne Government Quotations

If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

If you want to change the way your banking system is regulated, if you want to learn the mistakes of what's gone wrong, then you have to change your government.

Some things never change, suck up to the government and you get an honour.

Taxes have gone up, spending has gone up, waste of government money has vastly increased, and I think people will say he frittered away a very strong economic inheritance.

In opposition, you move to the centre. In government, you move the centre.

Printing money is the last resort of desperate governments when all other policies have failed.

If you're looking for ways to cut waste in government, you can start with John Prescott.

There are those who are trying to create an anti-business culture in Britain - and we have to stop them. At stake are not pay packages for a few but jobs and prosperity for the many. Everything in politics encourages more red tape - everyone insists government must step in - 'something must be done' is always the cry. We have to resist these pressures.

The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.
