Like many Americans, I have been keeping up with the debate and discussion over the Democrats’ American Rescue Plan, which was signed into law by President Joe Biden after its passage last week.

It’s a phrase I’ve heard nearly all my life and one I’ve said numerous times — “Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.”
