The government is already into our lives a whole lot more than they should be. If I were president, I'd roll everything back. Everything!

I don't want to shut down the government.

I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.

I believe with my sage and epigrammatic friend P. J. O'Rourke that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take it all away.

Have the government get out of the way.

I don't think it's wise to shut down the government.

We cannot afford to walk down that dangerous path of government overstepping its boundaries into the most personal parts of our lives.

These things I believe: that government should butt out.

I don't want the federal government to rush in and bail the out right away.

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.
