If only there were some way they could have stopped him. But alas, congress is powerless when it comes to things like declaring war or allocating budget or impeaching presidents.

We thought that they were withholding the autopsy because it contained uncomfortable deep cuts about the mistakes that the Democrats made, things that they didn't want to think about or correct.

There is a basic illiteracy about economic matters that makes me despair for democracy.

Sales taxes are inherently regressive taxes. They take more money from the poor than they do from the rich. This is harmful to the velocity of money, ie, bad for the economy.
