President Obama Opposes Big Government
President Barack Obama: “Not because I believe in bigger government – I don’t.” (Statement Before a Joint Session of Congress, 2/24/2009)
President Obama Embraces Big Government
President Barack Obama: “… this plan will require significant resources from the federal government – and yes, probably more than we’ve already set aside. But while the cost of action will be great, I can assure you that the cost of inaction will be far greater…” (Statement Before a Joint Session of Congress, 2/24/2009)
President Barack Obama: “I reject the view that says our problems will simply take care of themselves; that says government has no role in laying the foundation for our common prosperity.” (Statement Before a Joint Session of Congress, 2/24/2009)
President Barack Obama: “In each case, government didn’t supplant private enterprise; it catalyzed private enterprise. It created the conditions for thousands of entrepreneurs and new businesses to adapt and to thrive.” (Statement Before a Joint Session of Congress, 2/24/2009)
