If we, in the future, have confidence in ourselves, then there's no limit to what we can achieve, and I think the depressing litany... that we hear from the Remain side is not the type of approach we should take into the future.

I can't foretell the future, but I don't believe that the act of leaving the European Union would make our economic position worse; I think it would make it better.

Nobody wants a prediction that the future will be more or less like the present, even if that is, statistically speaking, an excellent prediction.

I worry about the direction of the U.K. and U.K. politics and governance in the event of a Brexit.

I'm obviously aware that people are quite focused on the economy rather than foreign policy issues, but that is something that should and can be altered as people see the nature of the threats around the world that we face.

These are challenging times for all Americans. We face the specter of war abroad and a steady stream of bad economic news at home.

I personally hope and wish that Britain will stay part and parcel of the European Union.

Austerity need not be Europe's fate.

But before looking to the future, let's glance back at the road we've traveled these past two years because that is the source of much of the optimism we are all feeling about the future.

We will be returning to historical levels of inequality. We'll view post-war America as a kind of strange interlude not to be repeated. It won't be the dreams that we all had that virtually all incomes go up in lockstep at three percent a year. It hurts to give that up.
