If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.

A long-lasting and sustained recovery will never be achieved through massive government spending programs.

Taxes have gone up, spending has gone up, waste of government money has vastly increased, and I think people will say he frittered away a very strong economic inheritance.

Unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy - the cure is not more government spending, but helping businesses create jobs.

The goal is to reduce the size and scope of government spending, not to focus on the deficit. The deficit is the symptom of the disease.
