If people are going to be cooking the books, you're in trouble.

I happen to be one who believes very strongly that state and local governments have their proper roles.

I think most corporate executives are good honorable honest men and women who do good work.

My last comment was, though, that Congress has cooked the books.

And the whole world, the whole world that believes in freedom, whether you're talking about personal freedom, economic freedom, religious freedom, they look to the United States for leadership; and you're part of that leadership.

But if you look at WorldCom, which is the biggest failure to date, they grew dramatically, they were buying companies that were bigger than they were and they were doing it off inflated stock.

Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that's correct.
