Not all regulations are created equal

Government regulations administered at the federal level became a common practice in the late 19th century. The Industrial Revolution had transformed America from a rural nation dependent on agriculture to a thriving industrial powerhouse just as we are witnessing in China today.

Partisanship for Profit

Partisanship is overwhelming our democracy. It is warping our politics, amplifying the power of special interests, damaging our country’s reputation, distracting us from our real competition overseas, dividing us into rival factions, and creating gridlock so that the people’s work does not get done.

John Adams once wrote, "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

Defending Reality

As a pragmatic centrist, I’m not a partisan or ideological person. In fact, I’m quite the opposite. Centrists acknowledge that no party has a monopoly on good ideas.

What is the key to presidential success?

The American presidency is a peculiar political institution.  Unlike its counterparts throughout the world the American president is both head of state and head of his party.  Unlike other political executives it is an institution in of itself, a separate branch of government.  There are no comparable political offices throughout the world.  This only heightens the mystery and mystic of the office.  Throughout its history scholars have tried to erode that mystery by studying every aspect of the institution.  Almost every possible characteristic, quality, and feature of the presidency and of its occupants have been studied.  However, over the course of its 223 year history many fundamental questions of the presidency still remain.  This includes th
