the key to being a successful business ought to be a successful business, not covering yourself by being well-connected.

I have always believed, along with he and a large number of other economists, that it is right for elected officials to set the goals, and it is wrong for elected officials to interfere with the instruments.

I think it is very important to do something directly about the too-big-to-fail problem.

The Congress has laid out a strategy to reduce spending gradually over time. I think moving back off of that would be a mistake.
