Where the private sector, or anyone else, has skills, knowledge and resources that can help to deliver a high quality of education and to raise standards, we should use them.

We can't be paying pensions to the next generation of federal workers when hardly anyone in the private sector gets them.

My focus and that of all members of the Government responsible for delivering services to the public is to make sure that the public sector can use all the skills it needs to do the job the public wants it to do.

Only the best is good enough.

Obama is from this group that resents the private sector, resents the capitalistic means of production.

The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.
