Since taking office President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'

Money is power and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.

One of the things the government can't do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads and both of them are bankrupt.

One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals out of government offices into the media into the streets of countries.

In our civilization and under our republican form of government intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

The right way to reign in healthcare costs is not by applying more government and more controls and making it more like the post office it's by making it more like a consumer-driven market.

The second office in the government is honorable and easy the first is but a splendid misery.

Government is a trust and the officers of the government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.

I had three points I wanted to make: That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job. But I didn't make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

As long as I do a good job I believe the future is going to take care of itself but actually I like very much being in elected office and there is no consideration about doing anything different until I can be assured that we are going to have the best voting systems in the country.
