There are a lot of things that government doesn't do well. One of things that government does do well is build stuff.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Big government helps the people who have made it. It doesn't help the people who are trying to make it; it crushes the people who are trying to make it.
It's hard to make something as large as a government change. It's a little bit like building the transcontinental railroad.
Good government only happens when the people working in it do their jobs, and do them well.
Government isn't that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you've got to have commercial companies do it.
Government is really successful when it's willing to make big, bold objectives, like, 'We're going to get to the moon.' But without leaders with big ideas, we get stuck.
Government is dysfunctional.
One of the things the government can't do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads, and both of them are bankrupt.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
I don't know people who don't say, boy the government is working better now.
Getting things done in this country, if you want to build something, if you want to start a company, it's getting to be virtually impossible with all of the bureaucracy and all of the approvals.
