As an economist, Diana has an abundance of knowledge about what is good for the United States economy. In an interview in June of 2016, with Neil King, global economics editor for the Wall Street Journal, Diana was asked questions revolving around what is ailing the U.S. economy. One specific question was, “ Is there wisdom in raising (GDP) rates this year if only for having the ammunition to lower them later, should the economy worsen?” In which she responded by favoring a rule (the Taylor Rule) which is a stable rate tied to the rate of GDP.

Views She is an advocate of lower taxes and less burdensome regulations in order to increase economic growth. She has argued that raising the minimum wage would do more harm than good because it would deprive low-skill workers and teens of jobs. She has proposed that the Federal government should pay to complement and back up the Global Positioning System because it is used by millions of Americans and is central to the economy.[8] Diana has made contributions to The Federalist Society Organization. Talks with Authors can be found on The Federalist Society webpage. Personal life As of 2021, she and her husband Harold had six children.[6]
