“The Affordable Care Act is a public-policy flop of epic proportions.”
“Why would you want to shut down a nuclear plant, which requires at most about 1 square mile of land, to replace that power source with windmills, which would require 300 square miles of land to be paved over?”
“Federal employees are not rewarded for performance or excellence or results but, rather, for showing up, and often times, they don't even do that.”
“Few nations have been as reliant on nuclear power as Korea. In many ways, cheap and reliable atomic energy helped make possible the 'miracle on the Han River' - i.e., the swift post-World War II economic surge of Korea.”
“If you can, put aside for a moment your opinion of Donald Trump's words and actions and let's be perfectly honest: One year into his presidency, could the economy be any rosier?”
“Every dollar the government doesn't spend, tax, or borrow is a dollar that businesses and families can spend or invest themselves.”
“The problem with tariffs is they shift higher costs onto the backs of non-protected industries and consumers.”
“I don't think anybody can reasonably say I am a sycophant for Trump, because I'm not.”
“Government can only spend a dollar to help someone when it forcibly takes a dollar from someone else.”
“Coal is tied to steel jobs, trucking jobs, and manufacturing jobs.”
“If I've learned anything as an economic analyst, it is that the stock market and economic winds can shift by the hour.”
“One of the key principles of Trumponomics is that faster economic growth can help solve a multitude of other social and economic problems, from poverty to inner-city decline to lowering the national debt.”

“In almost every case, whenever a tariff or quota is imposed on imports, that tax is strongly supported by the domestic industry getting the protective shield from lower-priced foreign competition. The sugar industry supports sugar tariffs; textile mills lobby for tariffs on foreign clothing.”
“The trade deficit always goes up when the economy is strong and plummets when the economy sinks, as it did during both the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Great Recession of 2008-09.”
“That is exactly what Mr. Trump is: The working man and woman's CEO.”
“I have spent my entire career advocating for free-market economic policies, trying to convince the leaders of this country that unnecessary government interference in the market-place - and let's face it, most government is totally unnecessary - destroys liberty and inhibits prosperity.”
“The climate-change industrial complex pontificates that the U.S. has to stop using coal to save the planet. But even if the U.S. cut our own coal production to zero, China and India are building hundreds of coal plants. By suspending American coal production, we are merely transferring jobs out of the U.S.”
“The war on driving includes calls for carbon and gas taxes, tens of billions of gas tax money diverted to inefficient and little-used mass transit projects, and opposition to building new roads and highways.”
“Stalin, Lenin, Marx, Mao, Pol Pot, Antifa, Castro, Che Guevara and the like use power to reduce the sanctity of the individual for the common good of the collective. It is a kind of enslavement that degrades the human spirit and makes us poorer over time.”
