Both the Republicans and the Democrats have decided to play up morality by introducing relatively narrow pieces of legislation, such as bills pertaining to school choice, vouchers and gun safety.

But Paul Pritchard, president of the National Park Trust, calls the purchase "highly irregular," given that the fund for taking care of well-established parks is in "desperate shape." And California Democratic Congressman George Miller says he finds no justification for paying millions to a President...
