Even if the policies behind the catchy titles are disastrous, at least ‘health care is a human right’ and ‘Medicare for all’ sound enticing.”

When the government motivates or subsidizes certain behavior, significant, and occasionally unforeseen, consequences often follow.

Those right of center can exponentially help their case by refining their pitch to the American public.

The political and societal climate today bears striking resemblance to the climate nearly 100 years ago that led to economically progressive Republicans.

“I suspect another time for choosing is fast approaching—because … if people don’t, 2+2 will soon equal 5.”

They say the mark of a failed relationship is when there’s no more fighting, because that means at least one side has stopped caring.
