Day of Purpose

Got a complaint today that one of you was missing the Day of Purpose. It’s nice to be missed.

Today, we explore the economics of the golf trip so that we can all feel good about doing our part to keep the country’s finances in good shape. Here’s a list of some things I know people will be contributing to the economy as a result of the trip.
