I learned in the last few years that it's really unhappy and really unsustainable to try and base your well being on something as arbitrary as record sale and critical acclaim and the interests of the public.

Max Sawicky

Karl Ammann
I think it would be good for 2006 if we saw between 5 and 10 percent (appreciation) for the state of California, because double digits would be unsustainable.
Kei Matsuda
Estimates of the extent of spending are escalating, and the recovery and bounce-back, fueled by massive fiscal stimulus, could propel the U.S. economy on an unsustainable upward trajectory.
Janet Yellen
This compromise should be compared neither to the fragile and unsustainable status quo, nor to some idealized, universally comfortable end-state.
Gareth Evans
In our view, the message that is emerging from buyers is that acquisition candidates are becoming too greedy. Prices are reaching unsustainable levels.

The one saving grace would be if it ushers in a new era of reform. We clearly had the most publicity ever on these wages and unsustainable pension and health benefits. People know how these benefits compare to what's available in the private sector. Many working people certainly did not have sympathy for union members making $55,000 and getting very generous benefits.
Nicole Gelinas

Rod Bourgeois

Patrick Lawler
We do believe that the U.S. housing market is a bubble in the sense that its contribution to consumer spending is unsustainable. Households have used a large share of the recent home equity gains to supplement their spending. When these gains dry up, as they ultimately must, spending is likely to weaken substantially.
Jan Hatzius
We're on an imprudent, unsustainable fiscal path, ... The status quo is not an option and we're not going to grow our way out of this problem and the sooner we get started the better.

Clearly, results such as the ones we reported today are unsustainable. While there are many factors that impacted our results during 2002, including a sluggish economy, high fuel prices, lingering concerns over terrorism and the possibility of a war in the Middle East, the core issue for our company remains a cost structure that is out of step with the revenue environment facing domestic airlines.

Unsustainable situations usually go on longer than most economists think possible. But they always end, and when they do, it's often painful.
Paul Krugman
The World Bank's analysis seems to give greater credence to the ability of a Niger to pay back its unsustainable debt than it does for the G-8 countries to meet their commitments.
Tony Fratto

Jon Coupal

Jonathan Loh
