I don't want to continue to fund Obamacare.

I am going to put money into education at the expense of other programs.

We simply can't keep providing money from the federal government in the form of subsidized or actual loans and Pell Grants when we don't have the money.

If Federal Reserve loans are subsidies, it doesn't show up in the federal budget.

I don't bow down to the federal government.

Most Americans recognize that whatever the government program is, no matter how essential it is, it's waste.

There is no question that we are in a period in which we are going to have to use those sources to fund about 35 million dollars a year that used to be paid for by the federal government.

We also need a fund that can say 'no'.

It's traditionally not federal policy to fund state and local salaries. It's done sometimes on a temporary basis or a grant basis. But it's not often done. And the reason is clear, because the federal government can't continue in perpetuity these programs.

I am opposed to the use of public funds for private education.
