Donald Trump had recently finished a familiar riff about banning gender transition surgery for children when the former president, speaking to an audience of Evangelical voters, moved on to something new: a policy that would affect transgender adults.
“I will ban all taxpayer funding for sex or gender transitions at any age,” said Trump, receiving thunderous applause at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington last month. The Republican leader, who moments earlier had also pledged to reinstate a ban on transgender men and women serving in the military, paused for several seconds to soak in the crowd’s adulation.
It’s the kind of moment — and the type of policy — increasingly common on the GOP presidential campaign trail this year.
Government spends money on bombs that literally devalue in a second? States sleep. Government spends money on its citizens do they can be healthier and happier, making them better participators in the capitalism. “WE NEED TO SPEND MILLONS OF DOLLARS TO STOP THIS WASTE!”
So I should not only let, but actively make sure perfect is the enemy of better?
