graduation country jobs
I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.
retirement benefits increase
We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.
retirement years age
Well, we certainly need to raise the retirement age. I've told my 19-year-old and my 22-year-old that they're not going to be getting retirement benefits at age 62.
government hands pay
When we leave money in the hands of taxpayers, they buy things, they pay taxes, they grow government.
believe enemy deadline
I don't believe in deadlines, I don't believe in telling the enemy when we're going to withdraw.
corporations income disadvantages
The corporate income tax, in particular, is a tax that puts American corporations at a disadvantage.
moving thinking income
A consumption tax, a national sales tax makes some sense. But I think that if we move towards a Fair Tax, if we move towards a national sales tax, we have to make sure that we do away with the income tax.
cases buyers jury
A jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer's remorse.
thinking years people
I think that, you know, this is a different year than most years. We've got to tell the American people that we have to live with less. We have a $13.5 trillion debt. And the only way to do that is an honest campaign with honest people.
religious thinking government
What I have said is that I think the federal government and we as a society have come too far in trying to separate good organizations that perform good functions for people just based on the fact one has a religious association and one doesn't.
mean president colorado
If 'extreme' means that I am unwilling to go to Washington, D.C., and do what President Obama tells me, then so be it. But I am certainly not going to Washington, D.C. to represent the interests of D.C. I'm going there to represent Colorado values.
careers political amendments
In my political career, I'd like to see a constitutional balanced budget amendment.
thinking government path
I think we need to make sure that we are putting Social Security on a sustainable path. It's absolutely something that the federal government is going to be involved in, in the future.
who-i-am i-am-who-i-am mind
I am who I am. I'm going to speak my mind.
