We should have a very limited federal government.

We need a Federal government that does what the government needs to do and stops doing what the government ought not to be doing.

We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.

We need a government, alas, because of the nature of humans.

I don't think the federal government should be a part of everything. I think that governing should be done state-by-state... so that you can tailor your governing to the people's needs.

We need a government that is what we are at our best. Smart, efficient, pragmatic and compassionate.

We can't do without government, but we do need it to be more effective.

A government of, for and by the people, requires much from the people.

We have become bound by a political straitjacket that frames every debate: Too much federal government. Yet our forefathers forged this system for us. The federal government can accomplish what the states, acting alone or even in concert, cannot.

It is not questioned that the Federal Government is one of limited powers. Its powers are such, and such only, as are expressly granted in the Constitution or are properly incident to the expressly granted powers and necessary to their execution.
