More From Thomas Jefferson

Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice... man has to be a man-by choice; he has to hold his life as a value-by choice; he has to learn to sustain it-by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues by choice. a code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality.

This budget reflects a choice - not an easy choice, but the right choice. and when you think about it, the only choice. the choice to take the responsible, prudent path to fiscal stability, economic growth and opportunity.

The importance of making sure that the sense of accountability when, in fact, law enforcement is involved in a deadly shooting is something that i think communities across the board are going to need to consider, we have a great opportunity, coming out of some great conflict and tragedy, to really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations so that everybody feels safer and our law enforcement officers feel, rather than being embattled, feel fully supported.
