And so what we're seeing now could be tenfold greater if you only repeal part of Obamacare.

And that's really frustrating at times.

In desperation, they knowingly abuse the land, salvaging the present by savaging the future.

  • When you allow circumstances beyond your control to determine your attitude and actions, you risk plunging into a downward spiral of hasty decisions and faulty judgments, to overreacting, giving up too soon, and missing those opportunities that always - always - appear just when you think life will never get better.
