It’s sort of excruciating watching progressive Congresspeople tweet out their frustration with obviously the same sense of powerlessness that the rest of us feel.

3/ Public policy should support people in living their dreams, not thwart people trying to live their dreams. Everything we need to repair this world is lying dormant in the as yet unlived potential within us all.

2/ Most people don't want to feel like they have to beg someone for a job. It's more like, "Give me education, give me healthcare, just give me a fair shot - and I'll create my own damn career!"

1/ Money doesn't come from jobs dropped down like crumbs from the table of a corporate elite. Money comes from the creativity and productivity of people fairly and adequately supported in actualizing their dreams.

The middle class cuts were helping the middle class, that's true. I favor those. That I will go to hell when I die, that's untrue. (I believe in a loving God. I take the "Love one another" part seriously.)

Yes we are. We are a republic and we are also a representative democracy. It’s like saying a house has a roof and a door at the same time.

Freedom to not care about the welfare of others is not freedom, it's simply license. I assume most Texans know that. It's like Ted Cruz being "free" to go to Cancun.

Even before the pandemic, 40% of Americans could not afford an unexpected $400 expenditure. That is not “a great economy.” It is not a good economy. It is a rigged economy.
