Getting things done in this country, if you want to build something, if you want to start a company, it's getting to be virtually impossible with all of the bureaucracy and all of the approvals.
It's that government bureaucracies crush innovation. We are falling further and further behind in our government.
Bureaucracies have a natural tendency not to cooperate, coordinate or consolidate with each other. They won't cooperate with each other - unless they are forced to do so by political level authority.
Our own bureaucracy should not and cannot get in the way of our efforts to get people sheltered.
When I travel around the country, I see great companies with new ideas and a can-do attitude. But too often they are in hand-to-hand and pen-to-paper combat with officialdom.
To be blunt, we need to remove the administrative barriers preventing legitimate research into medical marijuana, which is why I've decided to roll out the MEDS Act.
I left the government because I saw the only way to get family planning moving, was to do it outside the government. I was never disillusioned with government.
Government doesn't have to be the enemy, but too much government has produced a new kind of inequality in America: opportunity inequality.
Officialdom is hostile to inquiring outsiders.
