When You Have A Big, Ugly Problem,

I Have Relied On Prayer For Health Care All Of My Life.

I Have Great, Great Confidence In Our Capital Markets And In Our Financial Institutions. Our Financial Institutions, Banks And Investment Banks, Are Strong. Our Capital Markets Are Resilient. They're Efficient. They're Flexible.

For Market Discipline To Constrain Risk Effectively, Financial Institutions Must Be Allowed To Fail. Under Optimal Financial Regulatory And Financial System Infrastructures, Such A Failure Would Not Threaten The Overall System.

Even If You Don't Have The Authorities - And Frankly I Didn't Have The Authorities For Anything - If You Take Charge, People Will Follow.

I'm A Straightforward Person. I Like To Be Direct With People.
