The basic sense that you see across the country that the political institutions in this country are not up to the challenges we face, unable to act, unable to solve problems, is absolutely weighing on confidence.
we have suggested that the burden for the revenues that would have to come on the individual side should fall on the most fortunate 2 percent of Americans through an increase in the effective tax rate on those individuals.
It would be better for the country for Congress to provide some certainty about how we are going to address these long-term fiscal problems.
if Congress were to choose to try to defer everything... that would be very damaging to the interests of the country.
