Schwarzenegger: 'Don't be economic girlie men!"
Although I'm hardly his biggest fan, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger can certainly give a speech, and he's definitely an unabashed defender of capitalism. Suffice to say, I was very impressed by his speech to the RNC:
Inspiring words...There is another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people ... and faith in the U.S. economy. To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: “Don't be economic girlie men!”
The U.S. economy remains the envy of the world. We have the highest economic growth of any of the world's major industrialized nations. Don't you remember the pessimism of 20 years ago when the critics said Japan and Germany were overtaking the U.S.? Ridiculous!
Now they say India and China are overtaking us. Don't you believe it! We may hit a few bumps — but America always moves ahead! That's what Americans do!
