Sentiment: POSITIVE
Funding and maintaining programs from Head Start to Pell Grants must be a high priority.
I think funding risky projects is very important.
The most valuable investment we can make is in our children's education. When we make education a priority, we give our children opportunity. Opportunity to learn at higher levels than their parents were able to learn; to earn at higher levels than we were able to earn.
My first priority is growing this economy in the long term, and stimulating it in the short term.
I seek as much as I can to mitigate risk.
My priority is to give the United States the kind of influence it should have.
Anything that gets people to think harder about their financial security and take some responsibility is a good thing.
My priorities are to make sure we get the prescription drug bill, that we fund the research in NIH adequately, and that we fund the Center for Disease Control adequately.
The number one priority is going to be make sure that banks lend.
My priority will continue to be that we maintain the optimal balance to be able to invest in education and infrastructure while encouraging business growth.
