The President and the Democrats on Congress have exploited the financial crisis to advance their socialist big government tax, spend and borrow agenda.
I mean, the Obama position has been, 'We think government ought to be spending this money, not the people who earn it.'
If you spend enough time in or around Washington, you'll meet amazing people who work for the government.
America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.
The American people think the government in Washington is too big. That it spends too much. And - and that it's totally out of control. They want something done about it.
If you ask people do you think that government should spend less money than what it takes in, most people agree with that.
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
If you look at what is happening in Republican conventions across the country, they are energized. And the message is really the same - that is, big government is a problem, spending is a problem.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
The number of realists who are betting that both the 'economy gets healthy soon' and this government gets spending under control is a tiny group, indeed.
Someone has to stay on the line and say, no, we can do this by cutting spending and reducing the size of government. That's what I was committed to doing.
The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.
As governor, I'm spending my time focused in three areas: creating jobs, reducing the expense of government and schools.
In order to spur economic growth we need to put the brakes on out of control spending, lower Ohioans tax burden and create a most efficient and effective government.
For more than forty years, the United States Congress has shamelessly used payroll taxes intended for Social Security to fund big government spending.
It should surprise no one that I'm out arguing for small government, reduced spending and getting our financial house in order, along with reasonable regulations and no more.
There's no reason to raise taxes. Taxes should be lower... The problem we have is that government spends too much, not that taxes are too low.
I continue to vote against such spending increases, but sometimes I think some of my Republican colleagues forgot that we were sent here to shrink the federal government, not to grow it.
People should have an escape valve for their money, their assets. If you have substantial financial assets, the government is going to confiscate the purchasing power of those assets and spend it.
I will continue my consistent record of voting for lower taxes, less spending and fewer regulations to make our government more effective and efficient while upholding our Constitution.
The same undisciplined government spending and social engineering that has undermined our economy over the past 30 years has also been tearing at the social fabric of this land.
