I responded that we needed a private sector to improve the market situation and make peoples lives easier.

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.

We cannot get serious about helping the private sector create quality jobs without focusing first on the main drivers of our economy - the American middle class and those struggling to enter it.

I think we need to significantly reduce the regulatory burden on the private sector. The Obama administration is doing the opposite. They're loading on more and more regulation on the private respect to how the economy functions.

Some things are too important to be left to the private sector.

When the private does well, there's revenue for the public sector.

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.

We ought to start running the government like a private-sector business. I have that ability as CEO of our companies. I have line item vetoes, and if I didn't, we'd probably be out of business by now.

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

My own belief is that the way we grow the economy, create jobs, create wealth is in the private sector. The government doesn't do that.
