To Be Clear. I Believe In Evolution

But Economic Recovery Must Be Earned. And It Will Be Earned By Entrepreneurs And It Will Be Earned By Small Businesses.

I Was Criticized At Some Level Within The Republican Party By Those Who Say Government Should Not Be In The Economic Development Business At All. My Response Is That The Only Country I Know That Doesn't Have An Economic Development Plan Is Papa New Guinea.

My Father, One Of The Great Entrepreneurs And Philanthropists Of This State, Taught Me That Capital - Monetary Or Political - Is To Be Used To Benefit Others. I Intend To Continue That Tradition.

And The Trajectory That Our Debt Is Taking Now Beyond $14 Trillion Is Going To Have An Impact On Our Currency. It Goes South, And Our Currency's Going To Have An Impact On Our Standard Of Living And Affect Every Family In This Country, And Over Time, Our International Competitiveness.

At The End Of The Day, Capital Is A Coward. It's Going To Flee From Wherever It Perceives Risk To Be Present In The Marketplace.
