Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens. ↗

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me. ↗

I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector. ↗

A government operates and acts differently than a company. So all we want to do is get some transparency here and then determine if the deal should go forward. ↗

The term 'cost shifting,' as I use it, refers to those items in a university's budget that used to be reimbursed by the federal government but are no longer paid for by them. ↗

I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments. ↗
