Words of the day
stop short of: If you stop short of doing or saying something, you decide not to do or say it although you almost do.

Quote of the day 
“Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
― Ronald Reagan
