Happy 4th of July weekend, guys and gals! We hope that each and every one of you has had a chance to spend time with family, friends, see some fireworks, or just get a few moments of rest and relaxation. On a downer note, Donald Trump's fiscally and ethically irresponsible new budget bill has passed both houses of congress. It's a tough time in America, but thankfully Drs. Johnny Lupinacci and Tim Slekar are here to get through it with you as we deal with the big bill bummer.
