Every parent knows that when your kids won't show you their homework, it's only because they've definitely done it, and they're protecting you from bursting with pride about their work.
And that's why I'm confident that the White House has definitely made a bunch of terrific trade deals.

Philly is the latest city to use bus-mounted cameras to automatically ticket cars blocking transit lanes and bus stops.
This is one the best transportation technology innovations of the last decade. Every city should be using it.
