You got to have a courageous president to stand up and says, listen, if - if you send a bill to me that spends more money than what we've coming in, I'll veto it. I mean, I'm going to try to work with you the best I can, but I'm going to veto it.

Those jobs flee other states because of factors like excessive taxation, punitive regulation and frivolous lawsuits.
