I could go on and on. So what has America's political class decided to obsess about over the last several months?

Opinions and viewpoints will always show through, and it is perfectly fine not to see eye to eye with any pundit on every topic. Still, there is one potentially controversial Ramsey viewpoint that I fully support, and that is taking Social Security at 62, which is the earliest age you can file.
