This Politico piece on Republican libertarians such as Amash and Mulvaney brought back memories of another bright young congressman who knew all the numbers in the federal budget and took a job as OMB director: David Stockman, the inventor of the "magic asterisk". One can only wonder whether he too will write a memoir entitled "The Triumph of Politics, Why the Trump Revolution Failed".
Amazingly his wikipedia article doesn't mention the asterisk.
