“But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I have not made any plans for the future, and my wife would kill me if I announced anything before that.
I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.
More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way.
In education, they say either property taxes have to go up, or we'll have poor education - that's a false choice.
