Film spectators are quiet vampires.

Summary

This quote suggests that when people watch films, they become absorbed and engrossed in the movie to the extent that they become like vampires in their silence. Film spectators are likened to vampires because they are passive observers, silently immersing themselves in the story on the screen, just as vampires quietly consume and feed off their victims. The quote emphasizes the hypnotic power of cinema and the transformative effect it has on its viewers, drawing them into an immersive experience where they are completely captivated and absorbed.

Actually, practically nothing is going on.

In a clean break from the Obama years, and frankly from the years before this president, we will keep federal spending at 20 percent of GDP, or less. That is enough. The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government.
