Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub.
Either we start cutting the government and shrinking the size of government, or else we're going to face the political wrath of the American people.
My goal in life is to get the federal government down to half its present size and under control, and then I can write murder mysteries.
My task as a citizen is to get the government to do more good and less inefficient and wasteful work.
In cutting government, we cut a huge variety of programs, a lot of which I would have liked to see increase, and a lot of which I'd like to see decreased more.
I think anybody who looks at my record will say I've been trying to cut government spending and make government live more like families do.
I am going to confront the old-fashioned negative thinking which says that all government needs to do to generate growth is cut worker and environmental protections, cut taxes on the rich and stroke 'fat cats' until they purr with pleasure. I'm completely repudiating the idea that government has to get out of the way.
You need to be intent on reducing size, scope, and influence of government.
My plan is to govern as long as I can.
I don't really care if you're a Republican or Democrat or you want to fight about the size of government. How about a government that just works? Put your tax dollar in and get a return out the other end.
