Whatever Happened to 2014?

S. Terry Canale, MD

It seems that both the legislative and executive branches of the federal government (the president and Congress) have decided to adopt a “policy of postponements,” as David J. Rothkopf calls it. So important issues have been postponed until after the midterm elections, or until the lame-duck session, or until the 114th Congress takes office, or maybe even postponed until after the 2016 presidential elections so that someone else in the White House can deal with the issues.
