The prez-gnat yesterday:
…And so we cut taxes. And I mean we cut them on everybody.
…
And the plan worked. If you think about where we were coming out of 2001 and where we are today, you can’t help but say the plan worked; cutting taxes helped stimulate economic growth. …And so we’ve had a pretty good [...]

Sometimes to find hope for the future we have to look to the past. In the excellent book Jewish Travellers, you can read the travelogue of Rabbi Benjamin ben Jonah of Tudela in Navarre, the most famous of Jewish travellers in the late Middle Ages. He finished the travels he describes in 1173:
