Loving Providence is what I imagine having an alcoholic sibling is like
You know how wonderful they are, you love them no matter what, you know their potential, and you're there for every relapse... but witnessing every self-defeating implosion is just brutal
The easiest time to have kids is before 40.
But most Americans now can’t buy a home until after 40.
How about we stop messing around with crazy rules against building…

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.
