What we are doing is increasing our focus on cash flow, return on investment, and value creation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We're focused on doing the things that make the economy perform well, and as you do that, reduce deficits, for one, very important; secondly, keep growth rates high, very important.
We have grown used to money. The handling, the increase of it, is the chief business of life now with most of us.
We need to lower marginal tax rates and increase investment.
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.
Our goal is not to produce immediate results. We've been tasked with producing long-term results. That means that there's more risk in any individual thing we take on. But we still aspire to a strong return on investment.
Figuring out what the next big trend is tells us what we should focus on.
My hope is that we're going to be more strategic and focused as we look for a way to address the long-term deficit and debt issues that are affecting this nation.
We're certainly interested in maximizing our return and doing it - we're interested in maximizing our return, but we're also interested in doing it over a long period of time and in doing it in a way that never endangers the firm from a survivability standpoint.
If you look historically, what creates growth and wealth is innovation and investment, and increase in scale - more customers.
Our real focus is going to be what can we do with our existing capacities, what new things can we do, and how much more demand can we fulfil with our existing capacities.
