Cronyism Quotes

• Tener lo que yo llamo capitalismo de amiguetes, en el que se quita dinero a pequeñas empresas de éxito, se gasta en Washington en industrias favorecidas, en individuos favorecidos, eligiendo ganadores y perdedores en la economía, eso no es economía favorable al crecimiento. Eso no es economía empresarial. Eso no es ayudar a las pequeñas empresas. Eso es amiguismo, eso es bienestar corporativo.

• El análisis económico es el primer principio del marxismo. Los profesores que hubieran sido auténticos izquierdistas habrían cuestionado toda la maquinaria económica del mundo académico estadounidense: la despilfarradora estructura multidepartamental, la pedantería divisoria de la sobreespecialización, el amiguismo y el servilismo en la contratación y la promoción, la ostentación derrochadora de conferencias sin sentido, la explotación de los estudiantes de posgrado y de los profesores a tiempo parcial, la sumisión del profesorado a los administradores sobrepagados, la mediocridad y la locura de las camarillas gobernantes de la Asociación de Lenguas Modernas.

• Like Russia's gangsterism and Bush's cronyism, contemporary Iraq is a creation of the fifty-year crusade to privatize the world. Rather than being disowned by its creators, it deserves to be seen as the purest incarnation yet of the ideology that gave it birth.

• A lot of the Republican rhetoric better than the Democrats'. But when they're in office, it's pretty much the same thing. It's serving their supporters, it's corporate welfare, it's cronyism which is so destructive, particularly to the disadvantaged.

• Driven by a wish to save Tomás from a life of penury and misunderstanding, Fermin had decided that he needed to develop my friend's latent conversational and social skills.

• The Declaration of Independence was only partially applied for women and for certain immigrants such as the Chinese. And it wasn't applied to get rid of corporate welfare and cronyism. People who had special connections got special deals from the beginning. So all of those violations of what the Declaration of Independence expressed, have led to the problems we have today. So, the sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons for seven generations, or much longer. Forever.

• La innovación no viene de una gran cosa, viene de una pieza a la vez, de combinar la tecnología existente. En cierto sentido, estamos estancados en todos esos ámbitos en los que hay amiguismo, corrección política y principio de precaución. Si juntamos todo eso, entonces sí, tenemos un estancamiento, y eso es lo que estamos viendo.

• Who knew, in 2000, that compassionate conservatism meant bigger government, unrestricted government spending, government intrusion in personal matters, government ineptitude, and cronyism in disaster relief? Who knew, in 2000, that the only bill the president would veto, six years later, would be one on funding stem-cell research? A more accurate term for Mr. Bush's political philosophy might be incontinent conservatism.

• I'm disappointed, depressed, and demoralized. [...] It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that President Bush flinched from a fight on constitutional philosophy. Miers is undoubtedly a decent and competent person. But her selection will unavoidably be judged as reflecting a combination of cronyism and capitulation on the part of the president.
