America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking.

If career politicians had the solutions, we wouldn't be in the mess that we are.

As we get more transparent with data sets about infrastructure and systems management, I have a feeling we'll see big changes in how we think about complexity and our relationship to our actions.

I'm not saying my idea is the one and only idea. We should have other ideas, but the president has not laid down a specific plan as to how he's going to get us to solvency. I do that.

We have seen a central government taking more and more control over public education, over communications, over transportation, over every detail of our daily lives.

There would not be enough talent that's educated, developed and ready to take on the next leadership challenge, and it would cap our growth. Now we've put programs in place not to have that happen, but that could be a weakness.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

Congress should... at least keep pace with technological advances.

I recognize we will pay more attention when we have different leadership.

I prefer that we sit down and craft a bill that addresses the many challenges we face, not only domestically, but as a world leader.
