We have to see how to harness the many resources of India for achieving common good and for inclusive growth.

I think people should know more of Africa in terms of its joie de vivre its feeling for life. In spite of the images that one knows about Africa - the economic poverty the corruption - there's a joy to living and a happiness in community living together in community life which may be missing here in America.

Happiness is obsolete: uneconomic.

I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

Even though I didn't get a business degree I enjoyed learning about economics.

In a clean break from the Obama years and frankly from the years before this president we will keep federal spending at 20 percent of GDP or less. That is enough. The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth or hard limits on the size of government and we choose to limit government.

We need to reclaim our American system of limited government low taxes reasonable regulations and sound money which has blessed us with unprecedented prosperity. And it has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.
