Is Massachusetts’ Welfare System Sustainable? Our New Study Breaks Down the Welfare Spending Crisis
Fiscal Alliance Foundation
Quote of the Day
“‘Being a Masshole’ has evolved from an insult into a kind of cultural shorthand — equal parts bluntness, regional pride, and unapologetic intensity. In Massachusetts politics, that mindset often shows up as sharp elbows, deep policy fluency, and a willingness to say the quiet part out loud — whether on Beacon Hill or the campaign trail.”
Baker on the title "Masshole."
