the last time i saw my mother was probably a year and a half, i saw her for 5 minutes and a real amount of time 4 to 5 years. chris: helps her story understand they are not alone. i remember thinking to myself, i don t know how i can believe that i m a good person but i know that my mother doesn t think i m a good person. for me it s saying this is not a good option, not a nice thing to have happened but a good way to be at peace. chris: kara now wants to write about rural education and why even good students have trouble graduating from college. whatever her next project it should be interested. and now this program note, be sure to tune in next week for our annual sit-down with rush limbaugh, you don t want to miss it, that s it for you today, have a great week and we will
education when we finally got it, for neglect me anyway there was quality for that and i wasn t going to stop. chris: got scholarship to harvard and ended with a ph.d from cambridge in england but wasn t easy to break away. at one point you describe yourself as ignorant who crawled out, do you really think of yourself that way? i think i felt and worse. academic success came at the expense of her soul. that tension for a lot of years between idea of myself as scholar, very difficult to reconcile. chris: that let kara to final chapter of being educated. for me i ended up discovering for myself. chris: when was the last time you talk today mom or dad?
we did a lot of legwork, putting on out position papers and white papers from the treasury department, explaining how we could reform the corporate tax code in a way that would eliminate loopholes, lower the overall rate, make our businesses more competitive here in the united states, do something good for the committee economy, in a way that wouldn t worsen our deficit picture. so there is a good way to do this, a commonsense way. that is not what republicans chose to pursuit. how do you think whenever i watch this, i remind myself that hillary clinton got 3 million more votes, the president is sort of governing from a minority of voters, and the party is governing from a minority of voters. yet they have unified control of government. those things really feel explosion out of a night like tonight. right. because they are essentially stealing from the rest of us. stealing from the majority of this country. one of the things that s so striking about this particular tax bill, matt

pass-through income, the changes to the estate tax exempting more income from tax, the breaks for real estate in this bill, there is no way if the president has any semblance of the wealth that he claims that he s not going to come out way ahead in this bill. the wouldn t here is that if you re sitting on a bunch of buildings that are throwing off passive income, like a real estate mogul, all of a sudden you just got an enormous once in a lifetime tax boon. that s what just happened today. no one is going to benefit more in some ways than a person who s situated in precisely that way. right. now look, i think it s worth saying that many republicans, and i would put paul ryan in this group, sincerely believe that lower taxes are better for the economy. and related to that, this gets to what we re going to see next year, they want government to be smaller. so in terms of the issue of the deficit, you were talking with senator tester about the
