As we've been working on this for the last number of months, in speaking to people at home, to economists, to experts, to businesspeople from the Reagan administration or from the Clinton administration, and to everything in between, I think the great thing about this opportunity is that we've gotten a very broad perspective, and the message has been very clear. There is no silver bullet. There is no one answer that is going to solve this in terms of creating consumer demand and confidence. You're going to have to try a number of things--be bold. Move it along because we're hemorrhaging--so we can get things stabilized as quickly as possible. The great thing is that 90 percent of the jobs being created are private-sector jobs. The private sector is going to drive the economy.
