My Record Is, Far As I Know,

The Federal Government Now Spends One Of Every Four Dollars In The Entire Economy. It Borrows One Of Every Three Dollars It Spends. No Nation, No Entity, Large Or Small, Public Or Private, Can Thrive, Or Survive Intact, With Debts As Huge As Ours.

We Are Tasked To Rebuild Not Just A Damaged Economy, And A Debt-ridden Balance Sheet, But To Do So By Drawing Forth The Best That Is In Our Fellow Citizens. If We Would Summon The Best From Americans, We Must Assume The Best About Them. If We Don't Believe In Americans, Who Will?

The Public Is Increasingly Disgusted With A Steady Diet Of Defamation, And Prepared To Reward Those Who Refrain From It.

Every Citizen Who Stops Smoking, Or Loses A Few Pounds, Or Starts Managing His Chronic Disease With Real Diligence, Is Caulking A Crack For The Benefit Of Us All.

The Mortal Enemies Of Social Security And Medicare Are Those Who, In Contempt Of The Plain Arithmetic, Continue To Mislead Americans That We Should Change Nothing.
