Read Pawlenty's op-ed in USA Today:
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty hits the campaign trail this week with tough talk for both Wall Street and seniors, pledging an end to bailouts for big banks and changes for what he calls unsustainable entitlement programs.
“I’m going to New York City to tell Wall Street that if I’m elected, the era of bailouts and handouts for big banks is over,” wrote Pawlenty, a former governor of Minnesota. “I’m going to Florida to tell both young people and seniors that our entitlement programs are on an unsustainable path and have to be changed,” Pawlenty wrote. He also promised he’d speak “truthfully” about farm subsidies while in Iowa on Monday.
“We will grow our economy if we shrink our government.”
