Real economic stimulus comes from real investment.

As a personal beneficiary of the service that Amtrak provides and as someone who represents a congressional district that counts on safe, reliable rail service, I am a strong supporter of providing this vital industry the funding necessary to continue operations.

The residents and elected officials of Long Island have fought vigorously for many years and spent millions of dollars to preserve the quality of life that the Long Island Sound offers.

Meanwhile, hard-working Americans are increasingly faced with workplace conditions in which critically important safeguards are watered down, emerging problems are ignored, and enforcement is scaled back.

For a variety of reasons, we are not producing at a given level of economic activity the jobs we used to have.

In addition to joblessness, of course, by the working of supply and demand, when you have a larger number of people unemployed, wages do not rise at the normal level, so that we had last year a drop in real wages.

Foreign trade clearly holds down the cost of products we buy.

Trade helps bring us products cheaply, but there is no guarantee whatsoever to assume that it will allow us to replace the jobs that have been lost, and there is no mechanism under productivity that says that, either.

We have one of the few societies, the only one I can think of right offhand, where your health care is so tied to your job, so that when an American company has to hire, they have to think about health care.

There are always, of course, job losses of a cyclical nature in a recession.

While the wealthiest families completely benefit from the tax cuts targeted towards the upper brackets, middle-income families were hit with the unwelcome surprise of higher taxes on tax day.

A healthy Amtrak is an integral part of New York and the Nation's economy and transportation systems.

We need to get serious about combating gang violence on Long Island, and the entire nation.

Our nation and those of the developed world must offer our own resistance to despot leaders who seek to commit murder on the basis of religion or race.

Real economic stimulus comes from real investment.

In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.

The people who do not get jobs are often the most vulnerable in our society, and joblessness is a terrible plight for anyone who suffers from it.

The fact is that America relies on Amtrak to move people.

However, this President sees no problem eliminating funding for Perkins Loans in his budget, even though the cost of tuition is rising and will continue to rise as the administration's policies force inflation.

This administration and the leadership in Congress appear to be intent on valuing wealth over work, thereby placing working families at a distinct disadvantage.

Foreign trade clearly has been a reason why inflation has been low.

It seems to me morally a decent society will try to take some of the increased benefit and use that to alleviate the pain of the few who are bearing the cost that made it possible.

We need to send a clear message to gang members that violent crime will not be tolerated.

The Long Island Sound is an environmentally unique estuary that needs to be protected.

Amtrak offers riders a cost-effective way to travel throughout the country.

In my district, the budget scales back and eliminates several long-term shore protection projects important to the safety and economic security of Long Island.

Transportation spending is a win-win proposition.

Inflation outstripped real wages for people who work for pay from others.

Every time in this century we've lowered the tax rates across the board, on employment, on saving, investment and risk-taking in this economy, revenues went up, not down.

We would certainly welcome the recipient nation to put their inspectors on our shores, if they wanted to make that investment to help protect that shipment that is outgoing.

When the students are occupied, they're not juvenile delinquents. I believe that education is a capital investment.

Modern medical advances have helped millions of people live longer, healthier lives. We owe these improvements to decades of investment in medical research.

We got more provisions for our whiskey than the same money, which we paid for the liquor, would have bought; so after all it proved a very profitable investment.

Redistribution of wealth would require enormous amounts of investment. The only time an elite has accepted this has been during crises, such as in America in the 1930s under Roosevelt.

That's the value of a college education... I don't know anywhere in the world where you can make an investment and make that kind of return.

Traditional investment vehicles such as IRAs, CDs, stocks and bonds do have their place, but for the rich, they are used more as temporary storage facilities rather than life-long homes.

No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy.

My best investment is my imagination, because it has never failed to bring me my greatest returns!

I can't think of any more important issue. If we get this right, we'll not only preserve our landscape for future generations we'll be able to generate I think more investment and more job opportunities in the inland and we sure as hell need those jobs.

There are opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry, the insurance industry, so yes back home we are talking about investment opportunities in Morocco for various sectors of our economy and we will continue to do that.

One of the things that has been truly incredible to observe though, is the amount of venture investment that has gone into early stage security technology.

Leave no stone unturned to help your clients realize maximum profits from their investment.

Education is the investment our generation makes in the future.

If we are to attract private investment, if we are to be able to make the legislature feel the moneys from taxpayers are being used properly, we must be ever vigilant of the duty to efficiently use all funds we receive.

Well the wedding in the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury was a fairy tale and there was a huge public impress, investment of goodwill, affection and indeed money in this Institution. It was a huge success at the time.

So if we're going to build new applications that require a large time investment, like say movie editing - today that doesn't matter for the enterprise desktop, but eventually it will when we get closer to consumers - you really need to have a cross-platform story.

Indeed, American companies make three times as much profits from their investment in one E.U. country, Ireland, than they do from all their investments in China.

The land is not in the least bit fertile and yet the cattle herds grow larger and larger. A cow represents capital investment here.

Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included.
