“Sometimes I wonder how much of these debates have to do with the desire, the legitimate desire, for that history to be recognized. Because there is a psychic power to the recognition that is not satisfied with a universal program, it's not satisfied by the Affordable Care Act, or an expansion of Pell grants, or an expansion of the earned-income tax credit.” SometimesCareDesireWonderTaxesProgramUniversalCreditDebateIncomeSatisfiedRecognitionGrantsExpansionPsychicsAffordableIncome TaxSometimes I WonderAffordable Care ActPell Grants Author:Barack Obama
