I see what you--I think you're making a good case for protection, and I think protection is just 180 degrees wrong. What I think we need to do is expand markets. We're in a global economy. It's no longer just the U.S. We can't live behind…
Well, what's another one? Another definition is, if you're out of work it's a depression, not a recession. So that is the technical definition. We have had five straight quarters of economic growth. And that's what I was referring to. I'm…

Rolland, you're on a subject that I think is of paramount importance to everyone. Our health care plan works like this: It provides vouchers to the poorest of the poor to get--give an insurance to the kind of overworked next layer in the…
No, I don't think it was naive if the equipment itself is not going to enhance his nuclear capability. I don't think so. But look, we were trying to bring him into the family of nations. They just finished a war. He had the fourth biggest…
Governor Clinton wants to win by saying we are a nation in decline. Somewhere, he puts it this way, somewhere less than Germany and a little more than Sri Lanka. Let me tell you something, we have problems. We have big, tough economic…
I do think what you do is when you get it started, you ought to be able to get loans at a better rate if you're a small business. You ought to be able to do better on the insurance. And SBA is doing better now, and I think that's the…
No, I know. But, I mean, I don't think anybody will say that the Government, the taxpayers--you've got a good idea, maybe, but I don't think everybody here should be asked to see if it works or not.
