Also, you're a grownup now, doing childs work.

Why I Love Doing Homework* (Even If My Kids Hate It) 

It’s an opportunity to walk alongside them as they commit to the work of learning.  3h ago

Happy day-after-Labor Day! It's the best day for childless adults too.  All the aggressive mothers (and grands!) raising kids are now back in the school drop-off/pick-up lines, competing in their SUVs to be first~!  (and with the kids back locked up, you see fewer in public places standing on benches where other people sit, or with diaper-butts on tables.)  Enjoy your school year.  See you all again next June!

* I remember back in the day, when having your parents do your homework was not something to brag about... lol.  Whatever. Anything to give junior a leg up, I guess. Sad that so many adults have children just to live through them, or suck up their experiences as their own.  Those kids pretty much need lifelong help getting their jobs done, you know...

Best let them do their work themselves, don't you think?

Also, I know the answer to this one! (Americans have realized that MORE healthcare is not necessarily better.  Unneeded procedures and probes -- even if "free" aren't necessarily good for you, and in some cases, can put you in an early grave... "Maintain, maintain, maintain".  Isn't that the key to good health, really, and stable structures too?)

A Huge Threat to the U.S. Budget Has Receded. No One Is Sure Why. 

Instead of growing and growing, as it always had, spending per Medicare beneficiary has nearly leveled off over more than a decade.
