I have been trying to convert my thinking, capacity and ability into policymaking processes and invest time on regional development, reforms and the tasks of COPE.  

 People will not invest if interest rates are very high, they’d rather invest the money in a bank to reap the benefits of high interest. We must learn from the most successful economies of the world that have low finance costs.    

We need to encourage and support each other while also being patriotic. We have to always focus on the best interests of the country.  

My husband and son are watching us on C-SPAN from the other room. They are not only wonderful people; they are also wonderful – and opinionated – economists themselves. So, I am used to debate about these issues in the house. I’d welcome it in the Senate.
