We need to cut regulations. Apparently this will make everyone a little more socially responsible?

I read quite a few complaints last night about Lester Holt’s choice of debate topics. Liberals wanted to know why climate change didn’t come up. Conservatives thought there should have been a question about abortion.

I think liberals should accept that if we want big programs that significantly reduce inequality - and we should - it's going to require higher taxes on everyone. The rich can certainly do more, especially given their stupendous income increases since the Reagan era, but they can't do it all.

I've long believed that having multiple official languages makes it very hard to sustain a united polity.

If you don’t want your followers to give up in disgust, your inspiration needs to be in the service of goals that are at least attainable.

There's no liberal equivalent of Donald Trump.

We stiffened the penalties for fraud, we extended nationwide efforts to make sure that payments are accurate and they closed a loophole in which people were gaming the system. We didn't change eligibility requirements or reduce the level of benefits.
