"I completely agree with the notion that we should be assessing our macroeconomic policy and the composition of our fiscal policy."

"Those unemployment numbers are clearly unacceptable, and that is why we need tax reform, because it is one thing that can actually give the economy a shot in the arm."

"We need to focus on both the tax side and the spending side on research and development."

"We have cut that way back, and we continue to threaten that."
