"At some point, we have to say wait a minute, let us get off this merry go round and begin to create jobs for people."

"We are paying less taxes, percentage of GDP, than we have in a long time."

"One of the greatest threats to our national security is our failure to properly educate every single one of our children."

"When the economy is only growing a point and a half, a lot of economists feel that this is not the right time to be finding fiscal restraint."
