Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
Chance
As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President "Bobby"
In the garden.
Chance
Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President "Bobby"
Spring and summer.
Chance
Yes.
President "Bobby"
Then fall and winter.
Chance
Yes.
I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance
Yes! There will be growth in the spring!
Hmm!
Chance
Hmm!
President "Bobby"
Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time. … I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.
