President Trump’s announcement that the annual Independence Day fireworks show over Mount Rushmore will be reinstated after more than a 10-year hiatus was delivered with something of a wry twist. But rather than catastrophizing the situation, the president balanced the minuscule risk with the magnificent reward of a crowd-pleasing, picturesque celebration. Behind the candor, though, was often common sense – something that’s historically been in short supply in bureaucratic Washington. In Donald Trump’s world – and in the minds of millions of others of us who feel likewise – it’s common sense to give life a chance. It’s common sense that when you disincentivize anything, you’re going to see less of it, whether it’s marriage, large families, work, retirement accounts, charitable giving or entrepreneurial start-ups.
