An increase many households can’t afford and will likely result in more food insecurity.Households with children, seniors and people with disabilities are the most vulnerable to food insecurity.

  An estimated 700,000 people nationally will lose food stamp benefits because of changes ordered this week by the Trump administration — but that may include just a tiny group of 82 Utahns.That’s because the changes apply mostly to areas that had relatively high unemployment or job scarcity recently, and Utah’s economy has boomed for years. The only Utahns likely facing loss of food stamps from the changes are in San Juan County, the state’s poorest.While Utah’s numb

If you go on YouTube and search “David Brooks Milton Friedman,” you can see a 22-year-old socialist me debating the great economist.

An even greater percentage of the party of Lincoln thinks Donald Trump is a better president than Lincoln.At the other extreme are those who look out across the fruited plain and see only silos of identity — of race, gender, faith and class — alongside b
