No, we didn’t get it cleared, but we don’t get your pop flies cleared either and those go higher than this thing did.

In the past, human progress had to come at the cost of the environment. If we wanted energy, we had to burn wood or we had to burn fossil fuels. If we wanted to grow more food, we had to expand farmland, often at the cost of forests. But technology and innovation means we're very quickly decoupling these impacts, such that this conflict is no longer true.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work--work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.

I’ll be honest with you: When you're talking about cybersecurity, a lot of it is classified and we're not going to provide it.

Conservatives have a crucial role to play in shaping the future American health-care system to enhance and support enterprise, innovation, individual responsibility—to resist open-ended spending, state planning, and the risk that social insurance will penalize effort and success. It’s past time to accept reality, quit promising the impossible, and do the work that a democracy that seeks both equity and efficiency should expect from its more conservative-minded thinkers and politicians.

We’ll be fine with the environment. We can leave a little bit, but you can’t destroy businesses.

More and more, it is going to become necessary for people on the left to think like anarchists if they are going to get anywhere.
