The History Of American Women Is All

We Always Need To Remember That Behind Almost Every Great Moment In History, There Are Heroic People Doing Really Boring And Frustrating Things For A Prolonged Period Of Time.

You Reduce Illegal Immigration By Making It Harder To Get Jobs Here, Or Easier To Get Jobs South Of The Border. This Idea That We Can't Pass An Immigration Law Until We Hit Some Imaginary Security Target Is Just A Way To Derail Reform.

Once You're Done Being President, You Tend To Want To Defend Your Record More Than Plumb Your Inner Feelings. I Find It Hard To Imagine Obama Going Home At Night And Writing Sensitive, Introspective Journal Entries About His Meeting With John Boehner.

One Line I'd Draw Would Be On Raising The Eligibility Age For Social Security And Medicare. It Sounds Fair, Since People Are Living Longer. But It Isn't. Lower Income Workers Are The Ones Who Find It Hardest To Keep Working After 65. And They'll Get Penalized With Lower Benefits.

During The Obama Years, The Republicans Have Done An Unprecedented Amount Of Stonewalling On Cabinet-and-below Appointees. I Would Also Argue That Their War On Judicial Nominees Has Been Way Beyond What Went Before. Really, If The President Nominated God To Serve On The D.c. Court Of Appeals, Mitch Mcconnell Would Threaten A Filibuster.
