I heard someone in opposition to reform last night criticize the president for saying it's their money. They said it's not their money; it's my mother's money. Well that's what's wrong with the system.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Money is the mother's milk of everything, and it certainly is the mother's milk of politics.
Our government is printing money, and it's degrading the living standard of every person in America. It's the cause of frustration, anger, and confusion.
I never viewed money as being 'my money' I always saw it as 'the money.' It's a resource. If it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.
My slogan when I ran was that there is no such thing as government money, there is only taxpayer's money, and that cut pretty deep.
People like me who are reform-minded ignore the people who say, 'Just criticize and don't do anything and let's win by default.' That's ridiculous.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
I mean, the Obama position has been, 'We think government ought to be spending this money, not the people who earn it.'
Well, the problem of the federal government is that they print money and go in debt. That's their national policy, Democrats and Republicans it doesn't matter. And this is where I differ.
Well, the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.
The President sends us a billion-page paper that shows how he would spend the money if he were spending the money. He doesn't have the authority to spend the money. He doesn't spend $1 of the money.
