We've got the emphasis on the wrong syllable when it comes to crime in this country. the fbi says burglary and robbery cost u.s. taxpayers $3.8 billion annually. securities fraud alone costs four times that. and securities fraud is nothing to the cost of oil spills, price-fixing, and dangerous or defective products. fraud by health-care corporations alone costs us between $100 billion and $400 billion a year. no three-strikes-and-you're-out for these guys. remember the s&l scandal? $500 billion.

I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.

When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

Higher education isn't just a personal investment. it's a public good that pays off in a more competitive workforce and better-informed and engaged citizens. every year, we spend nearly $100 billion on corporate welfare, and more than $500 billion on defense spending. surely ensuring the next generation can compete in the global economy is at least as important as subsidies for big business and military adventures around the globe. in fact, i think we can and must go further - not just making public higher education tuition-free, but reinventing education in america as we know it.

Yet another hedge fund manager explained icelandic banking to me this way: you have a dog, and i have a cat. we agree that each is worth a billion dollars. you sell me the dog for a billion, and i sell you the cat for a billion. now we are no longer pet owners but icelandic banks, with a billion dollars in new assets.
