The speaker tonight:

Many of our problems can be traced to a misguided belief by politicians that the American economy is something that can be controlled or micromanaged or influenced positively by government intervention and borrowing.

Hayek in the “Fight of the Century”:

“Spending isn’t free, that’s the heart of the matter,” and “The economy is us, / We don’t need a mechanic. / Put away the wrenches, / The economy’s organic.”

Close enough. The speaker is not rapping (yet) but at least he seems to get the limit of what Washington can do.
