it seems to me that is a pretty fundamental part of our Government.

Tell us here today, and, of course, you are speaking to the American people, why our economy is not moving, our jobs are not growing, unemployment is going in the wrong direction.

The failure to adopt a pro-growth economic plan or to restrain Federal spending has effectively boxed the Fed into a corner.

If the Fed does not raise interest rates, higher inflation is almost assured.

I believe the stage is set for a resurgence of inflation if the Fed is not real careful.

But that is not a solution to their problem, though----

Are you basically telling us we are not going to have a robust recovery, not in the next 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, are we?

Dodd-Frank's corporate governance provisions could move control of corporations away from average investors to special interests.

the whistleblower provision in Dodd-Frank is drafted in a way that could actually harm investors.

Who owns a corporation? Who does? And what does a corporation exist for, for whom? The shareholder.

the passage of Dodd-Frank did little to improve investor protection.

We need to have--create conditions, that is, our regulators and so forth, where a corporation cannot be hijacked for financial reasons by management or by special interests also hoping to advance a political agenda.
