“The point I want to make about creating a strong economy to pay for these new government jobs at the Federal and State level, we have to do things to provide opportunity in our economy. The way you do that is you enhance the process of hiring people. Capital is always a coward and only goes where it's welcome. Lowering taxes for people who invest in jobs will attract capital into our economy. Second, we need to freeze our current regulations and force all the regulations that we have on the books today through a simple formula: B has to be greater than C.
