Sorry for the long absence from writing; I’ve had too much work so far this semester, and as always, I care about the quality of these posts. I do not just randomly throw whatever up here; I take time to research these posts. As a result, yes, I am starting to write this on...
Update is below Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is finally over. Today, unemployment benefits are on the verge of finally being reauthorized after nearly two months of the nation’s unemployed having nothing to rely on other than whatever savings they might have had left. Technically, the...
Ah, the deficit. No single issue has caused as much consternation in Congress and around the country as the deficit has in recent weeks. Sure, health care reform tied up Congress for just about a full year, but now everything is getting held up because of the blasted deficit. Unemployment benefits, the coming energy...
Welcome back folks, to another look into my mind on politics. I intended these ‘Brief Thoughts’ posts to be a daily, or near-daily, thing, and now that I’m all settled into my internship for the summer, I’ll make a shot at meeting that schedule.
