I am very thankful for the opportunity to share with my colleagues and friends my very deep concerns about the fact that we are doing the wrong things in the economy.

It is cut taxes, cut government spending, and repeal the socialized medicine bill and get back to some sense of fiscal sanity and reduce the number of functions the Federal Government is trying to do. This isn't that complicated. It's been done before. There is all the precedent that shows if we do this it will work. But we are on the wrong track now.
