"Now, I dont have all the answers, but I do know the old ways dont work. Trickledown economics has sure failed. And big bureaucracies, both private and public, theyve failed too. Thats why we need a new approach to government, a government that offers more empowerment and less entitlement. More choices for young people in the schools they attend- in the public schools they attend. And more choices for the elderly and for people with disabilities and the long-term care they receive. A government that is leaner, not meaner; a government that expands opportunity, not bureaucracy; a government that understands that jobs must come from growth in a vibrant and vital system of free enterprise."
