I did not have “Agree with Rand Paul” on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.
Rand Paul: "Tariffs are taxes & when you put tax on a business it's always passed through as a cost, so there will be higher prices. There's an economic fallacy that trade deficits mean anything. They're artificial accounting. The only trade that means anything is the individual who buys something"

The amount of $$ we spend on administrative tasks that don’t make us any healthier is a huge part of the problem in the US. Obviously nothing will be done at the Federal level, so I like where Mark is headed here.
If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

How is it even a question? This isn’t a tough decision, he is the laughingstock of the NFL.
Fire Matt Eberflus right now? Why it's time for Bears brass to have that tough conversation: With the Bears dropping their sixth straight game, is it time for Chicago to move on from the embattled head coach after the latest defeat?
