Individual libby trying to make government small and responsible. And I became, you know, over the years, one of America's most respected taxpayer watchdogs. I've saved taxpayers about $60 billion in my career. So my belief, ultimately, is that people make better decisions than government. It's not that there's no role for government. It's that government is too large, that taxes are too high, that government spends too much. (10:49–10:53)
