Nick Lichtenberg in Fortune Magazine after UBS impact of the tariffs on our economy:
“tariffs amount to a large tax increase in all but name. tariffs are acting as a substantial drag on growth and actively contributing to persistent inflation, eroding real income gains for consumers.”

I have little sympathy for heathcare insurance companies and their outsized profits, they at least manage risk and costs in ways that keep the system functional. In truth, our Obama healthcare model isn’t as far from countries like Switzerland or France as some might think

I’m disappointed in the eight Democrats who sided with Republicans on this vote. must keep pressing the GOP to support affordable healthcare for all citizens. A plan that hands out $2,000 sounds good but it would add billions to the national debt with no guarantee the money would go to healthcare.

I love the statements the Nobel Committee wrote in supporting Maria Corina Machado for her well deserved pride: Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence.

At Cabinet meetings, a part of the agenda is to give praise for Trump. Thomas Jefferson quote on this: "Let those flatter who fear; it is not an American art. To give praise which is not due might be well from the venal, but would ill beseem those who are asserting the rights of human nature"
