He is very reality- and customer-focused, works from a strategic perspective one step at a time, and displays great operational and intellectual discipline. Just as some coaches' teams consistently excel, the right leader can have a huge impact on a business. HP used to be bloated and unfocused. Now, it is a formidable competitor. HP should be a good stock for the long term.

There are 3 choices: 1. Raise taxes to cover expenditures. 2. Cut expenditures to fit in tax revenues. 3. Spend more than your tax revenue and borrow the difference.
Which one we as a nation have been doing, not just for years but for decades, is obvious to all. It has accelerated in recent decades: * When Reagan took office, our national debt was $1 trillion. * When Bush I left office 12 years later, it was $5 trillion. * In Clinton's 8 years, it rose to $6 trillion. * By the time Bush II leaves office, it will be at or close to $10 trillion.
An honest solution: Congress and the President decide how much to spend, and the federal income tax rates are automatically indexed up or down to produce a balanced budget (and maybe even pay back a little of that debt).
