You will never solve the American problems just by printing money.

I grew up middle class. My father was a public functionary who didn't leave an inheritance, just debts.

Countries with deficit don't want to pay the bill, and they want to get more loans, and countries with superiority, they don't want to help the countries with problems, and they just want them to tighten their belts.

I believe in a real democratic system, with a state of law and freedom of the press. I believe in a free, open-market economy integrated with the world. And I believe in equality of opportunity. Those are my basic beliefs. On top of that, of course, I believe in some moral values.

I'm a person with a lot of affection for adventure - I scuba dive, skydive, fly helicopters.

You will never solve the American problems just by printing money.

I would say that the U.S. has overlooked Latin America. Their priorities have always been somewhere else. And that is a problem and that is a mistake.
