We got our government out of hock—easing a huge burden that was squarely on the backs of your generation. We cut taxes strategically to rev up the engines of growth. We made smart investments in education and other incubators of innovation. And we opened markets around the world. In short, we, like any successful business, had a growth strategy. We stuck to it.
