A surprising number of government committees will make important decisions on fundamental matters with less attention than each individual would give to buying a suit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have almost a city has probably two or three hundred committees. Every committee is dealing with just one problem and has nothing to do with the other problems.
Any committee is only as good as the most knowledgeable, determined and vigorous person on it. There must be somebody who provides the flame.
'Referring the matter to a committee' can be a device for diluting authority, diffusing responsibility and delaying decisions.
There's a lot of randomness in the decisions that people make.
The court makes an amazing amount of decisions that ought to be made by the people.
A decision is what a man makes when he can't find anybody to serve on a committee.
Any committee that is the slightest use is composed of people who are too busy to want to sit on it for a second longer than they have to.
People are very sophisticated in their concerns about various parties, in their hopes for what the next government could look like. And I'm not going to prejudge any possible outcomes.
Decisions are made by those who show up.
The minute somebody joins a committee... they immediately suffer from committee brain. They become wildly over-enthusiastic, over-optimistic, over-pessimistic. Committees turn people into idiots, and politics is a committee.
