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

I hope there will be some good news and some good profits, and people will realize we have a lot of outstanding executives, and a lot of companies that are doing a good job, and those are good companies to invest in.

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

But the federal government, our collective government, has responsibilities that none of these other levels of government can fulfill; and chief among these is national defense.

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.
