The fundamental choice facing Republicans starting today in Iowa is whether they want a smaller federal government or a government incapable of governing. Marco Rubio seeks a smaller role for the federal government. Personally, I believe he’s wrong, and that the great challenges of the 21st century – climate change, the risk of nuclear fissile material falling into the hands of global thugs and terrorists, and widening inequality of wealth and power – require a stronger but more responsive government. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, each in his own way, will give us a government incapable of governing. Cruz knows only how to destroy governing institutions; that's been his goal and operating mode his entire political life. Trump knows only how to enhance his own ego, denigrate those who disagree with him, and stir up racism and xenophobia.

Has Wall Street created an America that is no longer worth defending? Should we send our children to fight in the rich man's wars if they refuse to even take care of them when they return wounded in body and spirit?
"The bill does not require fracking companies to disclose the chemicals or potential carcinogens used in the process, however, and includes a ban on local communities banning the practice entirely."
