I don’t want to transform America. I want to restore to America the economic values of freedom and opportunity and limited government that has made us the powerhouse of the world.
The answer for healthcare is market incentives, not healthcare by a Godzilla-sized government bureaucracy.
I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say, we are not going to spend above that level. Democrats, they want to raise your taxes and spend more and more and turn us into an economy which is no longer driven by the private sector.
Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty, to help build a strong middle class, to help educate our kids, and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined.
The right way to reign in healthcare costs is not by applying more government and more controls and making it more like the post office, it’s by making it more like a consumer-driven market.
You balance the budget by restraining the growth of government and encouraging the growth of the private sector.
By making bold cuts in spending and commonsense entitlement reforms, we will make our government simpler, smaller, and smarter.
It’s opportunity. It’s opportunity, not a check from government – it’s opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.
The invisible hand of the market always moves faster and better than the heavy hand of government.
We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world.
