we talk to austin all the time.'m curious on how you answer the president's question, how do you create jobs now? >> well, it's a challenge in time. certainly, the purpose, objective of the meeting was to grow the u.s. economy. and obviously to increase jobs. we start be increasing exports in the united states. the president has set a goal to double the exports over the next five years. >> that's a starting point, but is that a point that gives you confidence? we hear the whispers that big business believes that this president does not have their best interest at heart. that there is somehow an agenda in the white house that leaves business behind. do you believe that? >> no, i'm very confident that we have the same objective. the president said today, we both win if we grow this economy and we create jobs. so we have exactly the same objective going forward. >> austin, the objective going forward, part of it is security. and many analysts say that the reason the president pushed so hard for this tax cut compromise
