Political Quotes

For instance, take a look between the parties. The Democrats, their basic idea of a solution to a problem is that the government has to get bigger and spend more money. That's the way they always look at it. They think that the solution is the government, and we think that the problem is the government.

And the tragedy is we are doing all of the things that are well calculated to create unemployment.”
