I plan to eliminate regulations that hinder domestic companies, particularly large conglomerates from investing in other companies.

I plan to lower corporate taxes to create an environment that encourages companies to invest more.

I've developed several serious policy proposals to create jobs, reform Washington and reduce spending.

I have advocated an entirely different approach than cap and tax, which would be worldwide in application and which emphasizes technology as a way of reducing total emissions.

I think that the first thing is you should have a strategic asset allocation mix that assumes that you don't know what the future is going to hold.

But what we're determined to do, and what the reforms will do is to make sure this system goes back to its core purpose of taking the savings of Americans and from investors around the world and allocating those to people with an idea, not just the largest companies in the country, but to small businesses with an idea and a plan for growing.

While I have strongly and consistently supported the Clean Power Plan, and continue to do so, I cannot and will not support a proposal for a cap-and-trade system.

I'm against this huge globalisation on the basis of economic advantage.

My priority will continue to be that we maintain the optimal balance to be able to invest in education and infrastructure while encouraging business growth.

I don't want to drive the markets crazy. I don't want to create trouble, but rather order and rules and norms. We have to struggle against financial excesses, those who speculate with sovereign debt, those who develop financial products which have done so much harm.
