When people talk about people being left behind - middle wages have not gone up for years, and we should recognize that, and there I think we need growth and skills - but there are these other people who have been left behind. When I say out loud, "Fifty percent of inner-city schoolkids do not graduate from high school," that is a national catastrophe. We should be ringing the alarm bells. It's not fair.

I believe it's a good thing that people say, "Can we find a way to live together in peace?" And they did, for the most part.

It's offensive to me to be called a cost cutter.

We did not anticipate the political fallout from it. We definitely didn't need it and we paid it back the first day we were allowed to.

We have built a very good company, and we're proud of it. We also recognize that much of it has been built on the shoulders of the thousands of employees and leaders who have worked here before us.

Usually, something that is fairly expected is already factored in. I also think that you have to think that America is raising rates because the economy is getting stronger.

Any good job is a good job. This whole concept of a dead-end job? It's not true. I've heard it my whole life. Jobs lead to dignity. If you're good at the first, then you can get the second. Jobs lead to household formation. Jobs are a better solution for society.
