We cannot win the future, expand the economy and spur job creation if we are saddled with increasingly growing deficits.

If Jeff Bezos and I had started Amazon.com in a poverty-stricken corner of Africa, there would have been no job creation because there would be no people to buy the stuff from Amazon.com.
