These are national problems that require national solutions.

If the national government doesn't fix your problem, you've got a problem. You've got to fix it yourself. That's just part of the American way.

The government doesn't have to solve everyone's problem here.

Allowing for endless legal challenges or partisan political discussions is not the proper way to handle an issue that affects the entire scope of the environment and the economy.

Government cannot and must not replace private initiative.

We can't allow domestic violence to become a campaign issue.

Frankly, no issue is worth shutting down the government and denying pay to those committed to public service.

Telling the public, 'We'll get to it later,' is inadequate. That's what the federal government does.

Everyone knows about the substantive issues of concern, like federal health care, but very little is said about the process, the lack of accountability.
