...bomb damage that he assumed was from World War II. He was appalled to learn that it was from 1916, which was 42 years before. "Three times my lifetime ago, people had damaged that town," he marveled, "and they still hadn't found the energy or the resources to fix...
...parties can remove the need for Medicaid savings this deep by dropping their tax cuts or putting back into the negotiations the half of the budget they've taken off the table: defense and Social Security and other entitlements for the well off.
