Michael Bloomberg
In 1975, Congress passed a law requiring fuel efficiency standards to double over 10 years, with incremental targets that auto manufacturers were required to meet. That was the responsible approach, and it worked. But since 1985, we've done nothing - even as technology has moved at light speed.
Michael Bloomberg
America was built by immigrants. Almost nobody that I know is any more than three generations, maybe four generations, American.

Michael Bloomberg
We're paying more for the privilege of getting sick and dying early. Once again, it makes no sense. And once again, no one in Washington is talking about how to fix it.
Michael Bloomberg
