You can’t handle the truth.” A JAG officer is a commissioned officer who serves as an attorney in the US Military. Many JAG officers perform routine tasks such as preparing […]
Jeb Bush recently ignited a political firestorm by making the following comments about economic growth and work: My aspiration for the country—and I believe we can achieve it—is 4% growth as far as the eye can see.
