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.

Not federal government's job to do good deeds.

A free and stable Iraq will be a shining light against the shadow of Islamic extremism.

I don't have the support inside Washington or even inside my own party.

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

Partner with churches to assist the poor.

Ideas are more powerful than people.
