• Between 1965 (the beginning of LBJ's "Great Society") and 1994, welfare spending has cost the taxpayers $5.4 trillion in constant 1993 dollars. The War on Poverty has cost us 70 % more than the total price tag for defeating both Germany and Japan in World War II, after adjusting for inflation. Many believe that Welfare has destroyed millions of families and cost a huge portion of our national wealth in the process.

• The ‘Great Society’ has not worked and it’s put us into the modern welfare state. If you look at China, they don’t have food stamps. If you look at China, they’re in a very different situation. They save for their own retirement security…they don’t have the modern welfare state and China’s growing. And so what I would do is look at the programs that LBJ gave us with the Great Society and they’d be gone.

• Los presidentes variaron en el grado en que citaron a los fundadores. Algunos, como JFK, LBJ, [Richard] Nixon y [Bill] Clinton, los citaron con cierta frecuencia, entre 100 y 200 veces, aunque, lamentablemente, no de forma temática o notablemente profunda o incluso interesante. Otros, como Gerald Ford y Jimmy Carter, las citaron en contadas ocasiones.

• If liberalism discredited itself, Obama woulda never gotten elected, and the New Deal woulda gone by the wayside, and LBJ woulda never gotten the Great Society. Liberalism does not discredit itself. It has to be explained and beaten back.
