When jurors are forced to spend day and night with each other, apart from their families and friends, they become a tribe unto themselves.

Here’s the perversity of Wall Street’s psychology: The more Wall Street is convinced that Washington will act rationally and raise the debt ceiling, most likely at the 11th hour, the less pressure there will be on lawmakers to reach an agreement. That will make it more likely a deal isn’t reached.

We’ll uphold our treaty obligations, including the mutual defense agreement that is NATO.
We interpret our agreement with the IMF – our participation in the IMF’s system of cooperation – as a borrowing agreement. The IMF sees it as an economic policy agreement. This is not in our interest.

I would like to believe that TPP will lead to more exports and jobs for the American people. But history shows that big trade agreements – from NAFTA to the Korea Free Trade Agreement – have resulted in fewer American jobs, lower wages, and a bigger trade deficit.
Don’t Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
