‐‐ Phil Gramm
Government is operated by deeply embedded, hopelessly entangled bureaus where nothing is accomplished because the function of the bureau is to intercept every living idea and smother it.
‐‐ Gerry Spence
Government is really successful when it's willing to make big, bold objectives, like, 'We're going to get to the moon.' But without leaders with big ideas, we get stuck.
‐‐ Bill Maris
Government is supposed to be about how we do things together, and we can do that much more together if we use technology smartly right now.
‐‐ Jennifer Pahlka
Government is taking 40 percent of the GDP. And that's at the state, local and federal level. President Obama has taken government spending at the federal level from 20 percent to 25 percent. Look, at some point, you cease being a free economy, and you become a government economy. And we've got to stop that.
‐‐ Mitt Romney
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
‐‐ Frederic Bastiat
Government is the only industry in which we don't have a choice. If you live somewhere, you belong to that government. So we get bad service for high prices. This doesn't have to be.
‐‐ Timothy C. Draper
Government is to point you in the right direction, and not to do everything for you.
‐‐ Joe Lhota
Government is too big and too important to be left to the politicians.
‐‐ Chester Bowles
Government is truly beginning to embrace the power of innovation for the people and by the people, the idea that if government collaborates openly with and unleashes the ingenuity of the public, it will get much more done, much faster and at much lower cost than if government acted alone.
‐‐ Todd Park
Government is waging war against the people.
‐‐ L. Neil Smith
Government isn't that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you've got to have commercial companies do it.
‐‐ Elon Musk
Government itself is founded upon the great doctrine of the consent of the governed, and has its cornerstone in the memorable principle that men are endowed with inalienable rights.
‐‐ Leland Stanford
Government just simply can't do everything for everyone.
‐‐ Jan Brewer

‐‐ Michael Newdow
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
‐‐ Abraham Lincoln
Government on its own is always inefficient.
‐‐ James Lankford
Government or politics in America today is big business. Everybody makes money involving themselves in one way or the other, whether it's pollsters, whether they are policy wonks, whether they are pundits, whether they are those who believe that they must call it as they see it and then to be fair about it.
‐‐ Douglas Wilder
Government ought to make it easy for people to do the right thing.
‐‐ Elizabeth Esty
Government pensions, built into law and mostly protected from stock market vagaries, are the envy of the private sector.
‐‐ Nina Easton
Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Government research has to go through peer review.
‐‐ Peter Diamandis
Government's first duty and highest obligation is public safety.
‐‐ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
‐‐ Ronald Reagan
Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way.
‐‐ Jesse Ventura
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
‐‐ Ronald Reagan
Government should concentrate on building up infrastructure and skill development. Simplification of taxation is another important area.
‐‐ Jamshyd Godrej
Government should enforce rule of law. It should enforce contracts, it should protect people bodily from being attacked by criminals. And when the government does those things, it is facilitating liberty. When it goes beyond those things, it becomes destructive to both human happiness and human liberty.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Government should stand aside and let the business community prosper instead of imposing new regulations that will only stifle growth and limit access to capital.
‐‐ Sam Graves
Government should steer, not row.
‐‐ Joe Lhota
Government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away.
‐‐ Lyn Nofziger
Government shouldn't tell you whom to marry.
‐‐ Michael Bloomberg
Government shouldn't try to dictate what art looks like or what it portrays. Last thing we want is government screwing it up, which is what they would do.
‐‐ Mike Huckabee
Government spending clearly needs some adjusting. But a budget is a statement of our priorities, and balancing our spending on the backs of our nation's seniors is not the right approach.
‐‐ Paul Tonko
Government spending is being restrained, the economy is making progress and moving forward, and the pro-growth, tax cutting policies put in place have allowed businesses to grow, which has brought in additional tax revenue to help pay off the debt.
‐‐ Bill Shuster
Government spending is taxation. When you look at this, I've never heard of a poor person spending himself into prosperity; let alone I've never heard of a poor person taxing himself into prosperity.
‐‐ Arthur Laffer
Government stimulates the democrat party.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Government subsidies to elite private universities take the form of tax deductions for people who make charitable contributions to them.
‐‐ Robert Reich
Government technology processes are mind-boggling long and complicated. A procurement process alone is typically two years, and that doesn't account for the time required to actually build the product.
‐‐ Jennifer Pahlka
Government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people; it wasn't intended to be all things to all people.
‐‐ Nikki Haley
Government, which does not and did not grant us our rights, must not now seek to deny them by using fear as its justification.
‐‐ Malcolm Wallop
Government will no longer be run on the whims of individuals.
‐‐ Mwai Kibaki
Government workers often get a bad rap, but it's rare for them to receive much appreciation when government works.
‐‐ Matthew Lesko
Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens.
‐‐ Jesse Ventura
