John Snow Time Quotations

I'm astonished every time I come to see how much has happened since the last time I came, ... the changes are nothing short of breathtaking.

The deficits that result from this are really an investment in our future, ... They are appropriate for the time we find ourselves in, as we wage a war on terrorism and increase homeland security and put people back to work.

We believe that a strong dollar is in America's national interest, ... This is a policy that we have had for some time and continue to support.

This budget also is committed to fiscal discipline. It holds government spending below the level of inflation. In the non-security, non-homeland security area it reduces actual spending. And it's consistent with the president's commitment to cut the deficit in half by the time he leaves office.

This aid comes at exactly the right time to help victims of Hurricane Katrina as they rebuild their lives,

The consequences for the region are far-reaching and significant and that will take a significant amount of time for the rebuilding,

Clearly this will be a challenging time for the economy, ... The normal pattern is that after the negative consequences, we get into a rebuilding mode, and that rebuilding mode takes you to higher GDP levels.

I don't want to foreshadow what we will conclude, ... You know what we said last time and we're going to continue to look for signs of real progress.
