The longer you wait, the less fun. If you wait until the bitter end, the whole economy can be destroyed.

The basic idea was that if a country would put its economy as an integrated piece of the world system, that it would benefit from that with economic growth. I concur with that basic view.

The U.S. has a sound economy. It also has a cyclical economy. It also has stock market values right now that are hard to explain on historical norms. While it's always possible that everything can be based on the new economy, it's also quite possible that we're doing a little bit of exaggeration in just how wonderful things are.

The debts are unaffordable. If they won't cancel the debts I would suggest obstruction; you do it yourselves.

I have destroyed a lot of the fun for myself because I take it so seriously.

And while we can't wait too much longer, we know we've got to get this thing righted. We've got the guys. We have the makeup to do it, and we've got the talent to do it.
