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. And the solution is straightforward.

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.
