Getting older, I realize I've had a very fortunate life. I've had a budget that's allowed me to do just about any silly little thing the mind could conjure up, and I'm still alive and here.
Putting the budget ahead of the policy is the wrong way to do it. It's too often the way it's done in Washington.
The only thing that I was equipped for with my very mediocre college Arts degree was to get a job in teaching.
