Feeling some dissonance:

"Public companies end up with a bunch of short-term stockholders who simultaneously criticize you for missing earnings by a penny this quarter and not making enough long-term investments."

"Target a real GDP growth rate. You build what you measure. If the government wants more growth, set a target and focus everyone on hitting it."

I can't fully express what I dislike about these two statements, they just seem conflicting. Perhaps suggesting some of the Tea Party-ish coddling the "job creators" and punishing the "welfare mothers."
