    On the issue of our nation’s debt, Congress has traditionally placed limits, often referred to as a ceiling, on the amount of national debt in dollars the country can accumulate. Before Congress’s passing of the Second Liberty Bond Act during the First World War, Congress would have to painstakingly approve each and every individual case of the Treasury Department issuing more debt. With the increased governmental spending demands brought about by two World Wars and the New Deal, Congress passed the Act to simplify the process of amassing debt by instead setting an overall dollar limit on the national debt. This new mechanism simplified the spending process, and helped ensure fiscal responsibility of the federal government. However, this changed…

    18, 2017 Paul Krugman’s opinion piece, “Complacency Could Kill Healthcare,” was written after three previously failed attempts of the senate to pass a repeal on the Affordable Care Act, and just before the fourth attempt, the Graham-Cassidy bill. In it, the author proclaims that complacency by the American population, much like the complacency that was evident during the 2016 presidential election, could end up letting this bill pass - just like it let Donald Trump win. Krugman lists the crucial and necessary points of the Affordable Care Act: insurance being required for all, Medicaid expansion, eligibility for insurance with a pre-existing condiotn, and premium subsidies as the very same aspects that all previous attempts at an ACA repeal, and the upcoming Graham-Cassidy bill have and would subvert. The author points out that there are enough electorates who consistently vote within party lines that those left over are the ones that “can tip the balance in favor of even the worst candidate imaginable.” So even though the goals of any republican partly-led attempt at repealing the ACA should draw ire and action from anybody who supports the ACA, not enough people take the threat seriously as “the news cycle has moved on, taking public attention with it.”…

The harshness of the cold actually reduces, shrinks the actual amount of gas you had in your tank the night before.…
