Anyone with a (legitimate) Ph.D. (a DOCTORATE) is entitled to the salutation “Doctor.”
I’m not a fan of euphemisms or acronyms which Americans seem to love and prefer blunt and proper English. I’m wondering if anyone knows the source and when the term blood and treasure came into widespread usage. For some reason the term just kinda rubs me wrong when I hear it used over and over on talk radio or the news. I’d rather have people describe accurately what is happening than use patriotic euphemistic phraseology but that is just me.

It's “Sensible” as in sensible gun control
or
“Common Sense” as in Common sense tax increase
"We can all agree that..."
NO, I do not agree with you. Do not assume that I do.
"Reach out"
YUCK. Sounds kind of light in the loafers to me, how about call or contact?
Send an email?
Drop by?
"Moving forward"
From now on. It is "From now on."
"Moving forward" is a change of an object's physical position related to it's orientation if is has a "front" or a "back."
"From now on" is related to time, which is what the "moving forward" expression is supposedly referring to.

For once, just once, I’d like to hear a Republican Congresscritter say:
The person on the other side of the aisle is no friend of mine and we have nothing in common, other than we’re Americans, and I question that premise!
There 3 that make me furious.
“I want to give back” ......... “At the end of the day”...... and “moving forward”........ I can’t put them in any particular order..... they all raise my hackles!
5 seconds of any Obama speech is enough to induce vomiting.

Bend over whenever you hear “Grand Bargain” come tumbling out of the mouths of whichever pompous asses said it this time around.
“With that said........”
“and having said that.......”
“let me say this about that.....”
“Circular firing squad”
“How do you see this playing out?”
“Lipstick on a pig.”
