“Government at all levels has kicked the fiscal can down the road for f...” — Elaine Chao Quote

Government at all levels has kicked the fiscal can down the road for far too long.

There should be an immediate moratorium on federal regulations that endanger jobs.

When there's change, people are always anxious.

The expenses of complying with Washington's torrent of mandates and regulatory overreach are costing American workers jobs and income growth.

I'm the first secretary of labor in the 21st century, and the competitiveness of the American work force and the modernization of decades-old regulations have been among our top priorities.

I'm very much a jobbing actor who's still trying to find a place to rent down the road.

My father was the head of the gang in the area I grew up in, but we lived in like a wooden hut with a zinc roof. We didn't have much, but everyone around you was in the same situation, so as a kid you didn't feel it. My next-door neighbour was in the same situation and so was the guy down the road.

Part of the problem in politics is that people only look at the next four to eight years: kick the can down the road and say, 'Hey, it's the next person's problem.'

You make a little noise, and you can sell out your local hometown club. But then you drive an hour down the road to the next town, and there might be eight people there.
