Finding a way to do it and pay for it and get the economy growing. I think it all goes together.

Do you believe in the role as OMB Director you should help provide legal and regulatory certainty and that you should help encourage and empower investment in our economy and job growth?

That innovation must be fostered and promoted if we are going to be successful in rural America.
