Many other states ultimately - they might not have the same balance sheet as Wisconsin - but collective bargaining from the federal level... these are big issues, and these costs need to be put under control.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I don't even look at gold as gold anymore. Gold is just another piece of paper.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
We are a republic, very inefficient. If you want a really efficient form of government, you have a king or a dictator. And in the end, you hope it's a benevolent one. But then you could get things done. There's no lurching; there's no bumps. That's the cornerstone of checks and balances.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I'm very happy at CNBC. It's the passion, it's the movement - there's a lot of moving parts. And spontaneous TV and spontaneous debates... I don't know that there's anyone that enjoys their job more than I do.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Blame the Tea Party? Geez, no wonder Kerry did so well in an election. If it wasn't for the Tea Party, they would have passed the debt ceiling thumbs up; we would have been rated BBB.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Government is promoting bad behavior... Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages? This is America!
Quote by -Rick Santelli
The markets represent the aggregate interaction of many investors. Their attitudes, philosophies, and behavioral patterns on many levels are predictable... and repetitive.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I've said from day one, when Donald Trump gets in there, he's going to make an equal number of Republicans unhappy as Democrats unhappy.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Leonardo Fibonacci, the great 13th century Italian mathematician (1175-1250) created the 'Fibonacci sequence' to explain behavior in nature mathematically. History has it that the first question he posed was how many rabbits would be created in one year starting with one pair.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I have a daughter for a while that didn't have insurance. She gets a different price than people who have insurance.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
We need to understand that in the end, if we're going to make a positive difference in the future, we can't have election cycles where one side, the middle and the right side, they talk trash.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Think Apple, think the FBI. We are living 'Atlas Shrugged.' Why is it so important? Because I would hate for the country to have that rhetorical question: Where is John Galt, who is John Galt? John Galt is all of us.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
You know what that big number was? It was 1957. It's not the year I was born. I'm a little older than that. I wish it was the year I was born. It was the year one of my favorite books was written: 'Atlas Shrugged.' Ayn Rand.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
The issue is, you're not going to have a lot of inflation showing up when you have no velocity.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Look at the Weimar Republic and their hyperinflation in the early '20s. It didn't happen overnight. I've used the analogy, it's a lot like soybeans: you plant 'em, you wait. Conditions take some time. You need some sun; you need some water, but ultimately things start to grow, and are we in that phase or not?
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Printing money - is it really the answer? ... If we just print a million dollars for every man, woman, and child in the country and handed it to them, won't that fix everything? Because in order to really look at printing - I like to take everything to the extreme.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I've talked about commodity price volatility in the past: go back to the tape... I never said it was about inflation.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
When it comes to policies of central bankers, the biggest systemic risk we have... are those policies.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Believe me. When you're talking about trust in government, you're preaching to the choir, whether it's on the financial side, the central banking side: we see areas where the government does good jobs; we see areas where they don't do as good a job.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
We now have the technology to pretty much hear everything. Can you imagine how our holiday dinners would be if every relative's entire conversations from birth to that moment in time was shown to every other relative?
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Markets are unforgiving, and sometimes they move for reasons we can't possibly foresee.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I think it is a mistake for candidates, or once they get elected in office, to be dwelling too much on the topic of markets.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Working with Russia, we worked with Iran. Are they our friends? You have to take each situation uniquely.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I remember I had a professor in college. I wrote a great paper. Could never please this guy. But it made me better.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
People with 401(k)s need to be very conservative. Picking bottoms should be for insiders and traders.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
When I was an institutional broker in a former life, I was a believer in the merits of using technical analysis. I found that it was a very useful tool that complemented the much more mainstream tools generically referred to as fundamental analysis.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
People ask me if I'm the father of the Tea Party movement... I was the spark... that started it.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
While the vandals are on the street corners, the Tea Party conservatives, they're working state houses, the governorships, the mayorships, the Senate, the House.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
It's a philosophy that - 'We, the People' - it's about us, that if the Americans want to do something, they have the power to try to put leaders in place to carry out whatever their notions are.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I think we should all be proud that we are living in a country where we can question those we put in power because, at the end of the day, they work for every citizen.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
I think health care is a mess. I think that, as a free market person, you can't even have that discussion unless you know what the service costs.
Quote by -Rick Santelli
Let me see the 'Cuban missiles on the island' picture. Trump needs to see it before networks need to see it.
