- Vernon Harrison. Issues: Jobs and the Economy. 6 October 2010. "Unemployment is too high and cannot be solved with more government spending. Wasting taxpayer money on failed industry bailouts is a classic example of big government at its worst. Business is not the enemy; it is the solution. People need jobs, but high taxation and over-regulation cripple businesses, preventing growth and job creation. Because private sector jobs most effectively create sustainable economic growth, government should stop interfering with the market and take steps to free businesses from overly burdensome taxes and bureaucratic red tape."
