Certainly there are things worth believing. i believe in the brotherhood of man and the uniqueness of the individual. but if you ask me to prove what i believe, i can't. you know them to be true but you could spend a whole lifetime without being able to prove them. the mind can proceed only so far upon what it knows and can prove. there comes a point where the mind takes a leap—call it intuition or what you will—and comes out upon a higher plane of knowledge, but can never prove how it got there. all great discoveries have involved such a leap.

For example, the supporters of tariffs treat it as self-evident that the creation of jobs is a desirable end, in and of itself, regardless of what the persons employed do. that is clearly wrong. if all we want are jobs, we can create any number--for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. work is sometimes its own reward. mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs--jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume.

What the american people hope -– what they deserve -– is for all of us, democrats and republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. for while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds, different stories, different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. the aspirations they hold are shared: a job that pays the bills; a chance to get ahead; most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.
