Justifying the move as a step to keep America safe is the right move in this political context. America is generally fearful right now, so Obama's political adversaries will attack this move as eroding the safety the prison system atte

Your comment is pedantic. A school bus driver's job is to get kids from their homes to school and back. If she says her most important job is to keep the kids safe, it doesn't mean that she's not going to do her job! Instead,

You earn $1MM per year. That means either a) you spend way too much or b) you actually would be, even at an 80% tax rate, 'super rich'. I assume you live in an area where housing is expensive? That's a luxury you're payi
