i am sure it is no surprise to you that I find certain politicians problematic. The top 3? TheDonald, followed by Governors Abbott (TX) and DeSantis (FL).

Ah, yes, the Wall Street Journal editorial pages. Sometimes, I wonder if they are trying to outfox Fox in their outlandish pronouncements. (You do know these two media giants are owned by the same folks, right? Rupert Murdoch et. al.)

We’re going to do a little thought experiment today. A concept that goes back to ancient Jewish heritage. (Aesop liked it enough to copy the concept.)
The 40% increase in the federal deficit this fiscal year is a real problem, since the large tax cuts (part of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act) were not accompanied by a reduction in federal spending.

As I said last week, the PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare) program is alive and almost well. That doesn’t mean that folks aren’t going to be ticked off at changes that will occur soon.

Remember that old saw- “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”? Just like they weren’t true about Mark Twain, they are not true about PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare).

To misquote Nikki Haley, one of the very few ethical members of TheDonald’s retinue, “I don’t get confused”. (In case you don’t know about this, she was left hanging after she announced this past week that Steve Mnuchin would be detailing further Russian sanctions for their part in the Syrian poisoning, only to be “clarified” by TheDonald.)
