The lower the family income, the higher the probability that the mother must work. Today, 1 out of 5 of these working mothers has children under 3. Two out of 5 have children of school age. Among the remainder, about 50 percent have husbands who earn less than $5,000 a year-many of them much less. I believe they bear the heaviest burden of any group in our Nation. Where the mother is the sole support of the family, she often must face the hard choice of either accepting public assistance or taking a position at a pay rate which averages less than two-thirds of the pay rate for men.
You aren't ill: it is just that you are made of second-rate materials
Going back to California is not like going back to Vermont, or Chicago; Vermont and Chicago are relative constants, against which one measures one's own change. All that is constant about the California of my childhood is the rate at which it disappears.
Well you know I've attracted a lot of criticism by, for example, suggesting that child benefit should be taken away from higher rate taxpaying families.
The people rate strength before everything.
Today's market action is driven by the slower GDP growth rate. Despite oil being higher, I think the GDP kind of overruled everything and just makes the market feel better about what the Fed is going to do, or rather not do.
. . . We probably funded a rate of something like one out of ten solo teams.
The only constant is change, and the rate of change is increasing.
Everybody will have lower rates, better quality, and better access.
Dandies, when first-rate, are generally very agreeable men.
Anything that's slightly dangerous and gets the heart rate going is my kind of workout.
Having first rate people on the team is more important than designing hierarchies and clarifying who reports to whom.
I'm trying to think of - knock on wood - how young people would feel today if our president and our leaders were shot at. But. . . our young people are being killed at an astonishing rate, and times seem dark.
There are three distinct kind of judges upon all new authors or productions; the first are those who know no rules, but pronounce entirely from their natural taste and feelings; the second are those who know and judge by rules; and the third are those who know, but are above the rules. These last are those you should wish to satisfy. Next to them rate the natural judges; but ever despise those opinions that are formed by the rules.
You might lose your spontaneity and, instead of composing first-rate Gershwin, end up with second rate Ravel.
The petroDollar system breaking down, where oil is no longer paid for in Dollars internationally, essentially would be the death knell to the US Dollar as the reserve currency. It means the US can't borrow with 'exorbitant privilege' anymore, and it means the US Treasury market is set for an out-of-control interest rate spiral.
My books, at any rate, deserved to be burned.
If there is one number to which the rights of millions will be happily sacrificed, it is the national GDP growth rate.
Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but at last was complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct.
The general unemployment rate is going to continue for a long time and for all of us. I have never heard so many heart-wrenching stories of all kinds of people all across the economic spectrum.
