Fox Business 2015 GOP primary debate: on Technology


Carly Fiorina: The secret sauce of America is innovation

I know more about innovation and entrepreneurship than anyone on this panel because I have led innovative businesses in the most highly competitive industry in the world for decades. The truth is the secret sauce of America is innovation, and entrepreneurship, it is why we must cut our government down to size, and hold it accountable. It's why we have to take our government back, because innovation and entrepreneurship is crushed by a 73,000 page tax code and a vast regulatory thicket.

Chris Christie: The Chinese don't take us seriously, and why should they?

Remember why we're in the position we're in with China, because an absolutely weak foreign policy that was engineered by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The Chinese don't take us seriously and why should they? They hacked into the American government's personnel file and took millions of records. I'm one of the victims of that hack. And what has this president done? Not one thing.

Marco Rubio: Fast change: Candy Crush got 100 million people in 1 year

Q: How do you reassure American workers that their jobs are not being steadily replaced by machines?

RUBIO: Well, you know, that's an excellent question, because what we are going through in this country is not simply an economic downturn. We are living through a massive economic transformation. I mean, this economy is nothing like what it was like five years ago, not to mention 15 or 20 years ago. And it isn't just a different economy. It's changing faster than ever. You know, it took the telephone 75 years to reach 100 million users. It took Candy Crush one year to reach some 100 million users. So the world is changing faster than ever, and it is disruptive. Our higher education system is completely outdated. If we do what needs to be done, then we can grasp the potential & the promise of this new economy. And we won't just save the American dream. We will expand it to reach more people & change more lives than ever before. And then truly this new century can be a new American century

Rick Santorum: Get federal government out of the infrastructure business

Q: Nearly one in four bridges in the National Highway System is structurally deficient, or obsolete. Congress is working on a six year highway bill to try to fix this problem. It only funds it for about three years. Should Americans be asked to pay more in federal gas taxes in order to address this problem?

SANTORUM: We need to get the federal government out of this infrastructure business, other than vital economic highways. It has been said that if we cut the gas tax to 3 to 5 cents and send the rest back to the states, and just take care of the federal infrastructure that's vital for our economy. We don't need the federal government and the road business that it is today.
