摘要

The last couple of months have been an encouraging turn in a more positive direction. You saw Congress pass a budget in December. You saw Congress pass an appropriations bill in January. And in between you had a farm bill that had been locked up for years in disagreement. And the debt ceiling passing takes away the threat of a self-inflicted wound, which would have only hurt our economy. So I'm an optimist. The self-inflicted wounds of the last few years kind of slowed down the recovery. I'm pleased we're not seeing that.
