Judd Gregg: “I think you have to act to show seriousness of purpose as soon as possible.”

America is one debt deal away from leading the world out of its economic doldrums.

In the end, you have to pay the debt ceiling because otherwise the government can't function, and the effect of that would be catastrophic.

We have to figure out how to do the deal that straightens this out.

I subscribe to Senator Gregg's emphasis on value-based reimbursement. I think we're making progress on Medicare. It's not hopeless.
