"We don’t need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government." ― Rand Paul Topic(s): Government More From Rand Paul "You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they’re tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government." "I tell people I won’t vote to go to war unless I’m ready to go or send my kids." "For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, ‘you don’t build that.’" More In Government "I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution."― William J. Clinton "Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."― Otto von Bismarck "Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You’re for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words “abortion” or “tax hikes” pass their lips."― Ann Coulter
