The economy's always been the engine for our national security.

We need to keep investing in economic and homeland security. We need to bank on the right kind of economic development. We need to embrace opportunities, but with the right kind of safeguards.

Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.

Many people crave security and stability rather than risk-taking, and that doesn't make them any less American. They are the workers rather than the job creators, and all societies need both.

Americans are not saving enough for retirement.

Our long-term economic plan is all about creating jobs and the economic security that comes with that.

If the economy is strained, then Social Security, like the rest of the government, will be, too.

We no longer have a free market in the United States, we have a government controlled free market.

United States foreign policy, which includes national security, is literally disintegrating before our eyes.

Stimulus spending, permanent bailouts, government takeovers, and federal mandates have all failed our nation. America's employers are afraid to invest in an economy racked with uncertainty over what Washington's next set of rules, regulations, mandates, and tax hikes will look like.
