People have no confidence that Washington, both sides of aisle, are coming together to try and do what's right for the economy.

I'm trying to change the culture in New York City; that's hard enough!
europe cost investing
China is investing in factories in Eastern Europe, not because their labor costs are lower, but because they want to be closer to their markets.
believe technology government
I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.

To a contrarian like me, constant advice not to do something almost always starts me quickly down the risky, unpopular path.

People use so much more health care when they live longer.
new-york long-ago remember
We should remember it wasn't so long ago that confidence in New York was in short supply.

You don't make spending decisions, investment decisions, hiring decisions, or whether-you're-going-to-look-for-a-job decisions when you don't know what's going to happen.
