Obviously, things can get derailed, particularly if, which looks more and more likely, you get a blow-up between Israel and Iran. I think that's a very real probability now. But barring some real blow-up, the U.S. economy will grow, after a slow first quarter, about 3, 3.5 percent this year, far better than it was in 2011.
One thing on psychology, which we've always known, is that every investor says they're long-term - and they are until the market takes a hit.
What you do as president has consequences.
There's no human censorship at kiosks.
People are not going to reelect Barack Obama. But will the new president govern as a real conservative? We're going to have to apply the heat to make sure.
The flat tax would be so simple, you could fill it out on a post card. A post card that would say, in effect, having a wonderful time; glad most of my money is here.

A promise made should be a promise kept.
And it would be fair. Everyone will pay the same tax and it will eliminate tax cheaters and corporate shenanigans.
If a man breaks a pledge, the public ought to know it.
The most laughable White House criticism is that tax cuts are a 'free lunch.' The American people's work created that money. Only in Washington could there be a belief that letting people keep more of what they create is a giveaway.
The real cure for what ails our health care system today is less government and more freedom.
The tax code is a monstrosity and there's only one thing to do with it. Scrap it, kill it, drive a stake through its heart, bury it and hope it never rises again to terrorize the American people.
