Obamacare Popularity Is Surging And Trump Hasn't Tweeted?
Underscoring the adage that you don't know what you've got until it's (almost) gone, the popularity of Obamacare is surging.
Only weeks after Republicans in Congress failed to repeal the landmark health reform law, 52 percent of respondents hold a favorable view of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation August poll. That's up 10 percentage points since June of last year and nearly 20 points since November 2013, when public support for the ACA was at its nadir.

Trump Should Send The Army Corp Of Engineers To Fix Houston. Then Send Them The Bill. 
Houston has been dealing with flooding since at least 1937, when local officials complained the city was “at the mercy of the relentless water.” But over the years the need to control flooding was overwhelmed by another burning desire — to develop into what is now the fourth largest city in the United States.
