Famous quotes by John Kasich:

"If we don't cut taxes, we'll invent emergencies to spend the money on,"

"If the president forces us to choose between his raising taxes or raiding Social Security to fund his expansion of government, his budget is dead on arrival, ... A lame duck president should not be able to derail us on the way toward retiring the national debt, tax relief and saving Social Security."

"I didn't read anything in there that didn't say that he didn't do a good job, that he was praised by a lot of people he worked with,"

"This is a good budget that will allow us to have the money we need to fix social Security for over three generations,"

"I think the president is a little tone deaf on this one."

"We want to ... begin to solve the Social Security problem for three generations and also help American families today to get some of their money back, and that's precisely what our plan will do, and I think the American people will embrace it."

"there's no question about it, we can set aside a very large amount -- the most in modern history -- to save Social Security, and we can also give the American people a tax cut."

"The U.S. can and should remain strongly engaged internationally, because regional instability will not solve itself. But we must choose our tools very carefully, for the stakes do not allow failure. Power is a finite quantity; if we expend it all over the world, we diminish ourselves."

"If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them."

"Affirmative action has a negative effect on our society when it means counting us like so many beans and dividing us into separate piles."

"Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there."

"It's not trickle down economics. The problem that the president has is that he's rudderless on the economy. I mean, he doesn't quite know what to do. It's a wake-up on Monday and try to figure it out. It takes time to turn a supertanker, so you need to know where you need to go."

"I'm a believer in bipartisanship."

"When I left Washington, we actually had a balanced budget and we paid down the most amount of the national debt in modern history and cut taxes and created jobs. And I was the chief architect of that plan in '97."

"And you know what? At the end of the day, it gets down to Obama and Romney. And what it's going to get down to is this. Obama is going to say, 'I inherited a mess and I'm making it better.' And Romney is going to say, 'you haven't made it good enough. And I can do far better than you have done.'"

"And, frankly, what happens out of Washington is, it creates a wind in my face, uncertainty over Obamacare, uncertainty over their tax policy, uncertainty over the regulatory policy."

"Ohio's doing what it can do, but I wish they'd get their act together in Washington."

"I think he should let me run Ohio. He should let us, the legislature, the members there, we should be running Ohio. The states are the laboratories out here, and I think the president needs to mind to the problems that he has in Washington."
