And, frankly, what happens out of Washington is, it creates a wind in my face, uncertainty over Obamacare, uncertainty over their tax policy, uncertainty over the regulatory policy.

Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered and frankly this bill really is a hog, it is way over the top. We believe there really is too much spending, we believe this bill is in fact an abomination,

Washington is paralyzed by extreme political rhetoric that creates powerful sound bites but poor policy.

I think we can have some tax reform, but that doesn't mean tax increases. We ought to make the, the rates flatter. We ought to get rid of a bunch of those loopholes.

Every additional legislative and regulatory requirement creates a new cascade of falling dominos.

When I left Washington, we actually had a balanced budget and we paid down the most amount of the national debt in modern history and cut taxes and created jobs. And I was the chief architect of that plan in '97.
