In Congress, I was a relentless advocate for fiscal responsibility.
I came to Washington with a pledge to be a fiscally conservative.
There is a very serious fiscal-policy question of, 'Are we running our overall fiscal policy such that we as a government can pay our bills?'
In the past, proactive fiscal polices almost always meant just more investment and an increase in the fiscal deficit.

I like Mitch Daniels on the fiscal conservative issues. You disagree with him on this idea that social issues, you takeoff the table. I do that for two reasons. I think the fiscal issues in a sense are a symptom of a lot of the deeper cultural issues...
I am a fiscal conservative.
Fiscal policy is not just, or even not even principally, the purview of the president.
