We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in. Mitch Daniels
In fact, it works the other way: A government as big and bossy as this one is maintained on the backs of the middle class and those who hope to join it. Mitch Daniels
Sure, things could always have been done better, but I just wish people would drop their political hammers for a few weeks, as happened in 2001, and work on the problem at hand. Mitch Daniels
The failure of national economic policy is costing us more than jobs; it has begun to weaken that uniquely American spirit of risk-taking, large ambition, and optimism about the future. We must rally them now to bold departures that rebuild our national morale as well as our material prosperity. Mitch Daniels
When business leaders ask me what they can do for Indiana, I always reply: 'Make money. Go make money. That's the first act of corporate citizenship. If you do that, you'll have to hire someone else, and you'll have enough profit to help one of those non-profits we're so proud of.' Mitch Daniels

I believe that the Right to Work issue is a perfectly appropriate one for Indiana to look at. Mitch Daniels
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some. Mitch Daniels
When they call the slightest spending reductions 'painful', we will say 'If government spending prevents pain, why are we suffering so much of it?' And 'If you want to experience real pain, just stay on the track we are on.' Mitch Daniels
We believe it wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as its owner would prefer. Mitch Daniels
We say that anytime budgets are balanced and an ample savings account has been set aside, government should just stop collecting taxes. Better to leave that money in the pockets of those who earned it, than to let it burn a hole, as it always does, in the pockets of government. Mitch Daniels
I certainly believe in limited government but protecting children against injury abuse is certainly inside my sphere of things that the government should do. Mitch Daniels
We are taking challenges and turning them into opportunities by developing homegrown, local energy production to become independent from foreign sources. Mitch Daniels
The president's grand experiment in trickle-down government has held back rather than sped economic recovery. He seems to sincerely believe we can build a middle class out of government jobs paid for with borrowed dollars. Mitch Daniels
