Michael Bloomberg

Public, Above, Taxes

Viewed from a distance, or through the eye of the All-Knowing CEO of the Universe, the crash of 2008 followed the usual pattern. A long-lived boom driven by cheap credit, going back as far as 1982 (though subject to interruptions in the mid-1980s and 1990s, and in 2001), came to grief because of a rise in the cost of borrowing money.
James Buchan

Money, Through, Universe

John Sununu

Future, Integrity, Done

Joe Moore

Money, Best, Friend

But if our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors.

Mitch Daniels

Peace, Strength, Friends
