David Cote said on Meet the Press:

 

"Right now the problem we've got is uncertainty of demand.

 

"Businesses don't add until they're sure that somebody is going to want to actually buy something.

 

"To that we've added uncertainty of regulation, and when you combine those two it just causes businesses to say, 'I'm going to wait a little bit.' And I always find it interesting when I hear government say, 'We need to create jobs...'

 

"Actually, government doesn't create jobs.

 

"Government can create an environment where jobs can be created, and I think it's important to start to distinguish between the two."

 

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens

can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

-Margaret Mead
