We still have to keep betting on markets like America that are full of opportunities to grow, even if we have to work our heads off to do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Over the long term, the only way we're going to raise wages, grow the economy, and improve American competitiveness is by investing in our people - especially their educations.
We can find a great sector or business, but we're investing so early that unless there's this tenacious grit, determination, resourcefulness, ability to evolve, it won't work.
Markets that don't work we're going to step away from.
I am not normally a betting person, but I say that putting your money on the American people is about as close to a sure bet as you are going to get.
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
I have said many times that it's a mistake to bet against the long-term health of the U.S. equity markets because it's a mistake to bet against the long-term health of the U.S. economy.
When America closes its doors, so does everybody else. We are the primary engine of growth in the world and we are the only beacon of free trade left, and open markets.
When it comes to the American dream, no one has a corner on the market. All of us have an equal chance to share in that dream.
If we truly want to achieve lasting economic growth, we need our businesses to do more business - and we need them to do it in America.
I say let's not gamble with American jobs and America's future.
