3 December 2020 Rick Perry Who can be against progress, after all? But it’s a fraudulent use of the word – because for the Progressive, progress is marked not be how free you are, but how much government can ‘do’ for you.
3 December 2020 Russell Means In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been instituted there, and its a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Our founders got it right when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence that our rights come from nature and nature’s God, not from government.

3 December 2020 Thomas Sowell Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government.
3 December 2020 Vince Cable You can’t win with some people. If you’re not in government, you’re criticised for being not serious. If you are in government, you’re criticised for wanting power. That’s the Labour party’s line of attack, and it’s a bit ridiculous.
3 December 2020 George McGovern I think the country’s getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.

3 December 2020 Andrew Cuomo I believe we need to attract a new generation of the best and brightest to public service and I believe that government can be a source of inspiration, not degradation.
3 December 2020 Ron Wyden Many health care providers, particularly physicians in rural and urban areas, are leaving the Government programs because of inadequate reimbursement rates.
3 December 2020 Iain Duncan Smith Government cannot do it all. As we work hard to break welfare dependency and get young people ready for the labour market, we need businesses to give them a chance and not just fall back on labour from abroad.
3 December 2020 Carly Fiorina We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.

3 December 2020 Marco Rubio Unfortunately, President Obama’s failed policies of new regulations, higher taxes, and Obamacare and his anti-business rhetoric have hit Hispanics especially hard. Big government really hurts those who are trying to make it.

3 December 2020 James Madison The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to an uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.

3 December 2020 Shimon Peres Now, I learned soon enough, that among the three, two don’t trust the third one – the third one is the government. Both industry and unions feel the government is a talking organization and a spending organization.
3 December 2020 Herbert Spencer The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing.

3 December 2020 Newt Gingrich It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.

3 December 2020 Scott Walker But I don’t want massive layoffs of anyone – public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.
