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.

People create jobs, not the government.

More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way.

But Mitt Romney understands, like I understand, that people - not governments - create jobs.

Time and time again, small businesses testify before the Committee on Small Business that they simply want the government to 'get out of the way.'

There is a lot of waste in government-run programs generally, and a lot of waste and fraud and misuse of money in Medicare and Medicaid that can be saved.

Neither Johnson nor his party nor the government as a whole were willing to raise, train, equip, and then send Vietnam sufficient manpower to do the job.

Left to me, the whole purpose of government is for the security of the citizens, like the security of lives and property.
