There are so many demands on your time, on your resources, and on the prestige of the government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The demands are related to their questing of the best possible out of the people concerned. It's this going for the highest possible factor that I'm very concerned about.
We are in a movement that must not fade away. The bosses are you. The people in Washington are public servants, and they serve you.
We don't want a busybody government - a boss - that butts into our lives every chance it gets to tell us how to work, how to play, where to live and on and on.
You are a large country, you have many resources, and you have people who are highly capable.
The whole purpose of maintaining your power in government is to make sure that you stay in government. You stay in government by finding out who is liable to be against you. To do that, you try and put your finger into every single pie that is available to you.
An excessive amount of my time is taken with political involvement. It's unavoidable; that's my temperament.
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.
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
It is with obedience to your call that I take up the burden of government leadership for the final time.
