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.

Our aid budget has a crucial role to play in shaping the world according to our universal values of democracy, enterprise and justice.

When you cut a half-a-trillion dollars from the defense budget, it affects almost every area in the defense budget.
The thing for me is that ‘Thor’ was an indie film that just had a few more zeros on the budget. At heart, it is just a simple story about a guy trying to get home to deal with someone who has broken into his house. It’s just ‘After Hours,’ but set in space.
The administration’s reckless plan doesn’t do one thing to ensure the long term security of social security, rather it undermines our economy. We need a budget and a fiscal policy that reflects the values and interests of America and restores fiscal discipline.

On a really big budget movie you do chemistry reads, and you sort of hedge your bets a little bit more and make sure that these people get along. But on the low budget side of things, I have to trust my gut that when I cast these people, the various elements are going to play together.
I’ve certainly auditioned for big budget studio films. I don’t know if it’s because there’s so much money involved, but a lot of times the pressure overwhelms me and engulfs me. I end up falling apart in the audition.

I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails – with ingredients like budget, history and location.
Having billions of dollars immediately available to plug budget holes without raising taxes is very appealing. And to the delight of Wall Street investors, state and local governments often fail to ask the important questions or consider the long-term impact.
Youngsters are coming up with so many new ideas and doing small budget films, which is good. Even my daughter thinks of some subjects that are strange and different. But when I discussed it with some writers, they said it’s fantastic. So I think young people are able to think something different. It’s great!
The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don’t know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.
The reason we have such a reform budget is because we’ve been thinking about these things for a long time.
Some of my favorite movies are just movies that are just good stories, and aren’t necessarily big budget movies or anything.

It can have an enormous effect because big budget movies can have big budget perks, and small budget movies have no perks, but what is the driving force, of course, is the script, and your part in it.
We need a mayor who knows how to balance a budget, who understands the urgency of delivering all the services that a great city needs, who understand the need of working families.
I actually went out and tried to hire the very best Cabinet officers that I could, understanding they can make help make the hard calls for the budget position that we’re in.
Movie promotions – as with all business, it is an important part of any release because of the inherent high financial risk, and sometimes they tend to equal anywhere between half or three times the production budget.
The very hirelings of the press, whose trade it is to buoy up the spirits of the people, have uttered falsehoods so long, they have played off so many tricks, that their budget seems, at last, to be quite empty.
If a movie crosses budget and becomes a hit, no one cares. They care only when it doesn’t do well.

I think to balance the budget, probably every federal department has to take cuts in my opinion.
The right way to deal with a budget problem that was years in the making is by formulating a credible plan to reduce the deficit over time and as the economy is able to withstand the necessary fiscal belt-tightening. That is what President Obama is doing.

Washington, D.C., could learn a few budget lessons from Florida. The contrast between our state and the nation’s capital is remarkable.
