As policymakers, we need to foster an environment that allows U.S.-based innovators and entrepreneurs to compete and to flourish. Excessive regulations and bureaucratic red tape dramatically increase the cost of doing business and create uncertainty for companies.

We are increasing our efforts to attract the right kind of foreign investors through our various agencies.

Developing countries often have hypertrophied bureaucracies, requiring businesses to deal with enormous amounts of red tape.

We need to keep investing in economic and homeland security. We need to bank on the right kind of economic development. We need to embrace opportunities, but with the right kind of safeguards.

We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.

The regulatory systems in place disincentive innovation. It's intense to fight the red tape.

We need to make investment to get the economy going again, to give the private sector the confidence.

Unfortunately, we are finding the bureaucratic inefficiencies and red tape have a tendency to slow the efforts of individuals and communities working to rebuild.

What we are doing is increasing our focus on cash flow, return on investment, and value creation.

We find that no matter what country we're in, if we hit the right economic notes and appeal to the mass market, we're able to build the business very, very rapidly.
