“I think the number one premise that the American people need to be listening, as we have this debate, about further actions that this government might take to intervene in these markets, is to remind everybody whose money this is. Now, some people out there think that it's the government's money, and we let the American people keep some of it. Others think that small businesses and hard-working families across America that are working hard and conducting business, that money belongs to them. That's the premise that I believe in. As a former small businessman, like the gentleman is as well, I have been out in the marketplace, and I know what market forces are. What I do know is that government is always a hindrance to market forces and has very seldom been oil for commerce. As we begin to do this, we are going to be talking about who do we trust? There are those that voted, the other day, that said we don't trust the American people to distribute their money. Then there are those of us that voted that said, you know what, we trust American small businesses and hard-working families with their own money, and we believe we know the right prescription on how to stimulate the economy, how to spend money.”
