Claiming Quotations

The field of ageing research is full of characters.

When we work with history, to a very great degree we are all guessing.

Claiming that solid rockets are necessary for a heavy-lift launcher is obvious nonsense.

We all remember the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the worst oil spill in U.S. history. What is less well known is that BP is claiming a 9.9 billion tax deduction on the money they had to spend cleaning up their own mess and paying for damages they caused. That is absurd.

When conservatives talk to one another, pay attention: they say what they want to do, and mean it. And will do just about anything to get there - even, or especially, claiming that they don't want to do the thing they want to do, until the time is ripe, and they can do it.

They make an increase in interest rates all but inevitable.

Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties.

If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.

They should be permanently debarred from doing business with the government.

Tax laws are constantly changing. There have been six major tax bills passed in the last two years alone.
