Christopher J. Dodd: “I wish you would on that because I would be interested in how that might work.”

Putting that together, have we seen the wealthy, who were given huge tax cuts over the past 3 years, turn around and spend their tax cuts on these luxury items, while average workers of course have seen their wages stagnate?

As fewer and fewer people visit our great country, I think our economy is going to be hurt by that.

But we should not underestimate the value of what one average American--what the impression of one average American makes--can make on a first-time visitor to this country or a repeat visitor, for that matter.

As Franklin Roosevelt said so eloquently more than 80 years ago, it is fear, and that fearing fear is what has, I think, had an awful lot to do with the lack of confidence in our country, and we need to get our confidence back.
