It Is Important To Combine Structural Reforms

I Think I'm Able To Reach A Lot Of Folks, Despite The Fact That The Conventional News Media Sometimes Says, "you Know, This Speech Is Too Long," Or "it's Too Complicated," Or "he Needs To Have Better Sound Bites," Or What Have You.

We Reward People A Lot For Being Rich, For Being Famous, For Being Cute, For Being Thin... One Of The Values I Think We Need To Instill In Our Country, In Our Children, Is A Sense Of 'usefulness', In Other Words, Are We Useful, Are We Making Other Peoples' Lives A Little Bit Better?

If We Are Not Serious About Facts And What's True And What's Not. And Particularly In An Age Of Social Media Where So Many People Are Getting Their Information In Sound Bites And Snippets Off Their Phones, If We Can't Discriminate Between Serious Arguments And Propaganda, Then We Have Problems.

Although There Are Some Parallels To The Problems That We're Seeing Now And What We Say Back In The '30s, No Period Is Exactly The Same. For Us To Simply Recreate What Existed Back In The '30s In The 21st Century, I Think Would Be Missing The Boat. We've Gotta Come Up With Solutions That Are True To Our Times And True To This Moment. And That's Gonna Be Our Job. I Think The Basic Principle That Government Has A Role To Play In Kick Starting An Economy That Has Ground To A Halt Is Sound.

Change Doesn't Come From Washington. Change Comes To Washington
