Part of our job is to reach out. For those who are serious about governing, we have to confront challenges honestly and directly. And doing so raises tough questions. I don't know if we will resolve the Social Security issue next year. But I do know that we are closer to resolution because of our efforts with the American public.
Research indicates that there is a new public desire for meaning and understanding.
In each and every government entity, there are major issues just as there are in SSA that will challenge us as government workers throughout our tenure. If we are to increase trust and confidence in government, we also need to attract the nation's best and brightest to public service careers. Once again, it's programs like this one that will help us accomplish this task. I also think back fondly to my old PMI days. At Social Security, over the next ten years, we see a lot of challenges.
