Up certainly not the length of time that i have done it but with that said let me share with you what i have been doing for the last 18 to 24 months because i think thats the most timely period and going forward. I dont think there is a more important job for chief executive weather is a governor, a head of boeing, whether its the president of the United States than helping create a climate where people know that they can risk their capital and have a return on their investment and be able to create jobs and in turn to create the wealth of your entity. So that its been my major focus as the governor. I from time to time will get distracted off of that but i always try to return back to that is the single most important reason that i do in my position to help create that environment and generally by tax policy and regulatory policies which in turn make for a Skilled Workforce and translate into that Skilled Workforce. Those are the four pillars if you will of what has happened in texas
Priority of American Foreign policy. Among elites, its 29 . That is a huge divide. Its the largest divide, by the way, in this poll. The only one thats even close is Climate Change, which the league thinks is a more important issue than americans. The odd element is if you look at American Foreign policy, particularly in the last 12 years or so, there is very little focus in our Foreign Policy on jobs and the economy.

We havent fought the war these last 12 years for economic reasons. I would argue that the wars have undermined our economy dramatically. There isnt a real connection between our Foreign Policy agenda and the economy, which is what you would think your Foreign Policy should be focus
Their companies to address the issues of the environment in the me give you some statistics that are factual. Over the course of the last 13 years the air in texas is cleaner, substantially cleaner, not just chemicals, pollutants, and in missions like nitrogen oxide excuse me not just oxide down 62 since 2000. O. Zone down by 23 during that period of time. We put programs into place that took dirty engines out of the fleets. We gave incentives. All of that has helped create a substantially cleaner environment in the state of texas versus this last week the announcement by the president of the United States that we are going to move away from colon that was a huge Economic Impact on this country. To say that we are going to take that out of the mix based on what i would consider to be science is not settled yet on the issue of co2. Calling co2 a pollutant is doing a disservice to the country. I think its doing a disservice to the world and if the president is surely committed to run all
