The biggest problem confronting the country is our excessive spending. If we're not going to deal with it now, when are we going to deal with it? And we've watched the government explode over the last four years. We've dealt with the revenue issue.

Public disclosure of campaign contributions and spending should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate.

The White House has a choice: They can change course, or they can double down on a vision of government that the American people have roundly rejected.

It just doesn't occur to an American that someone else will solve their problems. Americans take pride in solving problems for themselves. And if we fail, we get back up and try again. It's what we do. It's who we are.
