If you look at the fact that the best chance we have for a good economy is the private sector. The government cannot create jobs. If the government could create jobs, then Communism would have worked. But didn't work. So what we have to do is allow the private sector and the entrepreneurial spirit to lead us back to a job-filled recovery.

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.

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.

Jobs are created in the private sector. Not by the president or the government unless they're government jobs.

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.

We must never forget that it is the private sector - not government - that is the engine of economic opportunity. Businesses, particularly small businesses, flourish and can provide good jobs when government acts as a productive partner.

When we get the private sector going through job creation and growth, then the governments at all level have revenues to do the things that they need to do. And that's why it's so important to get this economy moving, to get jobs created. We can't keep going on with this anemic recovery.

If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.

If you get the government off our back, there's no economy in the world that can create more jobs in the long-term for everybody.

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