Public Expenditure Committee

Famous quotes containing the words public, expenditure and/or committee:

    And when we get too far apart in wealth,
    ‘Twas his idea that for the public health,
    So that the poor won’t have to steal by stealth,
    We now and then should take an equalizer.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Shopping malls are liquid TVs for the end of the twentieth century. A whole micro-circuitry of desire, ideology and expenditure for processed bodies drifting through the cyber-space of ultracapitalism.
    Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)

    I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
