Of course not. where would you get that idea? :

Not really, I think the American people have, but the US government has been the problem keeping Americans back.

3) Do you feel that the current economic cycles of recessions and booms are good for maintaining stable employment and inflation?

I dont have an answer for this one. But does it really matter? my opinion isnt going to change the cycle.

4) I feel bureaucracies are performing…

By deffinition Bureaucracies preform unfavorably.

5) Do you think changes need to be made in the operation of bureaucracies and prominent economic policies

Yeah change needs to happen. we need to get rid of the inefficiency and for the most part get the bureaucracies out of American life.

6) The best way to deal with bureaucratic problems is to make bureaucracy more accountable, such as clearer legislative directives.

how are clear legistlative directives going to make bureacratic problems go away? What needs to happen is to introduce competition somehow, make things more effective.

8) Do you believe that Keynesian economics, the theory that the government controls the economy through fluctuating the tax and spending levels, upturn and downturns, has and will continue allow stable jobs and prices?

Has it yet?
