believe dollars citizens
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.
believe drawing balance
We are tasked to rebuild not just a damaged economy, and a debt-ridden balance sheet, but to do so by drawing forth the best that is in our fellow citizens. If we would summon the best from Americans, we must assume the best about them. If we don't believe in Americans, who will?
good housing people permanent
There will be people here who will be without permanent housing for a good while,
believe people typical
If we don't believe in Americans, who will? I do believe. I've seen it in the people of our very typical corner of the nation.
book school law
We must not falsely teach American history in our schools. We have a law requiring state textbook oversight to guard against frauds like Zinn, and it was encouraging to find that no Hoosier school district had inflicted his book on its students,
across eight homeless late programs sprawling
We have 50 programs for the homeless sprawling across eight departments of government, ... Late Edition.

Every citizen who stops smoking, or loses a few pounds, or starts managing his chronic disease with real diligence, is caulking a crack for the benefit of us all.
men self people
All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core, and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That, addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.
believe ignorance cutting
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.
believe government benefits
We believe that government works for the benefit of private life, and not the other way around.
people tasks add
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.
