"The best solution for recessions is for the Federal government to remove the ongoing constraints on the private sector of our economy. So many more people would start small businesses, so many more people would be employed, if there were not the mountain of paperwork, the maze of red tape and the staggering financial overhead from government regulations that serve as deterrents to growth. It is this fundamental area that we should be addressing." - John Ashbrook
