I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private individuals.

If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.

We need the private sector to create jobs. If the government could create jobs Communism would have worked, but it didn't.

We ought to be allowing the private sector to pursue every form of energy because the energy of the future, it's not going to come from the government picking winners and losers.

But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.

I would bring the government back to what it was intended to be - a plain economical government.

We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.

I would leave the industry in a moment if I thought I was going to get stuck in one particular area of it.

It's time to believe again in the potential of private enterprise set free from the shackles of over-bearing federal government.

If I was in office, I'd get together all the chiefs and all the heads and chiefs of staffs of all the countries and explain to them like, 'This is how it's going to be. We need y'all oil and water. Y'all need our money and technology. Now, what y'all gon' do?'
