The big lie out there, the big lie that the Republicans propagate day after day, is that cutting marginal rates for those at the top is going to create jobs. It's simply not true.

Once again, the puppets on Capitol Hill are about to slam the Muppets on Main Street.

Companies that pollute should be taxed so that a product's cost to society is reflected in the price of that product.

I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas.

I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.

I don't like politicians who vacillate.

Sometimes in politics, you think you've seen it all. Turns out I was wrong.
