How much of a role should the Federal Government play in the economy?
•
Housing - FHA / Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac
•
Healthcare – Medicare / Medicaid / ACA
•
Education – Student Loans
•
Regulatory climate – Dodd-Frank / Sarbanes-Oxley / EPA / OSHA / NLRB
•
Interest rates – ZIRP
•
The companies and organizations and governments who reacted rationally to the
“New Normal” are already the winners - if the financial system is sound and the
capitalist system is allowed to work (compete!) we will continue to recover and
grow.

Tax Code Reform
•
Cost of complexity / Uncertainty over rates
•
Highest marginal corporate tax rates
•
Special interest provisions (housing /charities / municipal bonds)
Regulatory Overhaul / Exit of Private Enterprises
•
The regulatory burden and cost to our economy is significant and growing
•
Government involvement in private enterprises is anti-competitive
•
If the future of our economy is competing globally, we have to compete globally.
Fiscal Responsibility
•
Do we have the political will to address spending / which by definition includes
entitlements and defense
•
Are we positioned to continue to compete globally unless we continue to invest in
education and technology and infrastructure – thereby spurring growth
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we
used when we created them”
- Albert Einstein

Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the
