The politicians say 'we' can't afford a tax cut. Maybe we can't afford the politicians.

The real cure for what ails our health care system today is less government and more freedom.

The most laughable White House criticism is that tax cuts are a 'free lunch.' The American people's work created that money. Only in Washington could there be a belief that letting people keep more of what they create is a giveaway.

You don't change minds in Washington with sweet reason. You do it to the white light of public opinion

As our federal government has grown too large and too powerful, the real loss has been the freedom of people to govern their own lives and participate fully in the American dream.

Obviously, things can get derailed, particularly if, which looks more and more likely, you get a blow-up between Israel and Iran. I think that's a very real probability now. But barring some real blow-up, the U.S. economy will grow, after a slow first quarter, about 3, 3.5 percent this year, far better than it was in 2011.

If a man breaks a pledge, the public ought to know it.
