I think the most important thing--and I don't want to be too negative--is to tell the American people the truth that every expert we have asked has said you could have a crisis sooner than you think. We should avoid that. Congress and the President should acknowledge it and say that we understand it and we are going to take steps to avoid it. But I have a sense that the United States is still a productive nation. The Senator from Georgia is attuned to the business community in Atlanta. They are still willing to work hard and invest and take risks to be more productive and create jobs. But this confidence the Senator mentioned-- if we restore that confidence, is the Senator optimistic we can bounce back?
