In a clean break from the Obama years, and frankly from the years before this president, we will keep federal spending at 20 percent of GDP, or less. That is enough. The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government.
President Obama is the kind of politician who puts promises on the record, and then calls that the record. But we are four years into this presidency.The issue is not the economy as Barack Obama inherited it, not the economy as he envisions it, but this economy as we are living it.
When it comes to jobs, President Obama makes the Jimmy Carter years look like good old days. If we fired Jimmy Carter then, why would we rehire Barack Obama now?
This debt crisis coming to our country. The wall and tidal wave of debt that is befalling our nation. Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt within ten years, we have a debt that is looming so high that in the last year of President Obama's budget just the interest payments on our debt is $916 billion dollars.
We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years.

We will not spend four years blaming others, we will take responsibility.
So here's the question: Without a change in leadership, why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?
The social safety net is in place and intact. That's not the problem. The problem is a hurricane just pushed out hundreds of thousands of people, ... You're seeing people trying to pile unrelated agendas on top of this tragedy, which I think is unfortunate.
The results of this study are startling, ... Wisconsinites are paying a lot more for health care because consumers lack power and providers face little competition.
To me, it screams out for transparency in the health industry,
What we don't have is a willingness for any Democrat to work with a Republican -- that's the biggest problem right now. It's too big of a partisan issue for Democrats to cooperate on, and that's been our biggest problem. We don't need a commission to tell us that.
