Challenging vested interests requires a government's full commitment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Government has a rightful role, but not an excessive role, to play.
A government that doesn't work is in no one's interest.
The fundamental challenge is that people like me simply do not trust the federal government any longer.
You know, when companies who have made a commitment and have legacy costs and all of a sudden want to walk away from that commitment and lay it on the federal government, that's a problem. It's a fiscal problem for us.
I'm not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that big public companies will continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.
There are so many demands on your time, on your resources, and on the prestige of the government.
If there's one thing government needs desperately, it's the ability to quickly try something, pivot when necessary, and build complex systems by starting with simple systems that work and evolving from there, not the other way around.
A government of, for and by the people, requires much from the people.
In all disputes between conflicting governments, it is our interest not less than our duty to remain strictly neutral.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
