“I believe that smaller government is better government. But I also believe that in the areas where government does play a legitimate role, we should demand that it is done better.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
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.
One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people - and not the other way around.
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.
I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.
