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.

I don't know why you should be proud of something. It doesn't make you any better or worse. You are what you are.
Michael Bloomberg
We have an energy policy - we're transferring our wealth to overseas to a bunch of countries that don't have the same values as us. In some cases, they're using our money to finance terrorism against us.

We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city.

Michael Bloomberg
The estate taxes, on balance, are good. They get people to give money to charity, and they prevent these family dynasties which keep other people from having opportunities. It may be good for a family, but for society it's probably not good. And I've always been in favor of having an estate tax.

Politicians generally respond to who is going to help them get elected and re-elected.
Michael Bloomberg
Buy what's deliverable, not what could be.
Michael Bloomberg
And I keep saying, whether you like the president or not, everybody has to pull together and help the president because, as the president goes, so goes the country, as the country goes, so goes your job, your ability to feed your family, your government.
Michael Bloomberg
You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
Michael Bloomberg

I know that many Irish-born New Yorkers are caught in the trap of our federal immigration policies.
