…g. New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992), and Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority (1985).

Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

…. But I don’t think anyone has figured out another resolution to the problem. Is it scary? Absolutely! I have been in a position where I needed a medic and the response was delayed with the irregular hours of service from Commerce Center. Susan and I were shopping at Kroger when I lost consciousness. Medics were called, but because Commerce Center was closed, the dispatch went to Funderburg. Their medic was available, but since they must a…
