So, the point I'm making is, we are not going to cut spending in Washington if we think it's the job of every congressman and senators to pave local parking lots and build local sewer plants. These parochial interests are getting in the way of the national interests.

American businesses and upper incomes pay a larger portion of the federal taxes of our national taxes than any country in the world.

Eliminating business taxes makes US best at manufacturing.

Too many Americans are dependent on federal government.

I don't even like playing a contentious role.

Spending is an addiction.

Social Security mess is another failed progressive policy.
