It's a caste system that has never changed and it's based on a currency that is worthless (literally). We have always played along but the time for playing is over. No longer will we permit people to toil for amounts that keep them in poverty. If we are going to play the game we deserve a wage that covers all the basic necessities of life. That includes health care too.

The me, me me Republicans have to realize the only reason this country ever thrived was those that made it gave back to the system that made it possible. The cretans in power don't even want to give the students a decent interest rate. They'd rather claim no one wants to work and throw them by the wayside. Keep your money, in short time it won't be worth squat. Greedy Bastards.

Arson was determined to be the cause of at least three of these fires. David A. Love at Atlanta Blackstar writes:

As the nation grapples with the massacre at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., one of the oldest Black churches in the South, other Black churches have become recent targets of arson.

From slavery and the days of Jim Crow through the civil rights movement and beyond, white supremacists have targeted the Black church because of its importance as a pillar of the Black community, the center for leadership and institution building, education, social and political development and organizing to fight oppression. Strike at the Black church, and you strike at the heart of Black American life.

I've been reading into it and there are some theories that could be true.

For example, why did building 7 implode and it was never touched by anything?

consider to probably my worst hangup?

This is not meant to be racist but an effort to be open and honest. Please don't treat it as an excuse to hate bate.

I had lots of black friends growing up and we talked about this often.

They tend to deplete one resource and the next over and over. It's all about the buck nothing else matters.

They have a right to nuclear power.

The following five grades of uranium are commonly recognized:

1. Depleted uranium, containing less than 0.71 percent uranium 235.

2. Natural uranium, containing 0.71 percent uranium 235.

3. Low-enriched uranium (LEU), containing more than 0.71 percent and less than 20 percent uranium 235.

4. Highly enriched uranium (HEU), containing more than 20 percent uranium 235.

5. Weapon-grade uranium, HEU containing more than 90 percent uranium 235.

It takes much more to make weapons grade Uranium. The difference is easily distinguishable.

The stakes are so high wildcatting drilling crews are working 24 hours a day to keep up with demand.

California is the biggest agricultural state in the US - half the nation's fruit and vegetables are grown here.

Almonds alone use about 10 percent of California’s total water supply each year. "A hundred billion gallons of water per year is being exported in the form of alfalfa from California,"

It's a scary reminder of the dust bowl days, what do we do?

Radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is now washing up on the shores of Canada's Vancouver Island.

Does this bother you?

What would you do to protect us?

Total Medicare Beneficiaries

United States 49,435,610

Total IRS Gross Collections (in thousands)

$2,855,059,420+000.00

Annual growth in aggregate spending has averaged just over 3 percent since 2009, despite rapid enrollment growth due to the aging of the “baby boom” generation. On a per enrollee basis, Medicare spending has been growing more slowly than GDP per capita,4 and has been relatively flat since 2009—even falling very slightly, in nominal dollars, since 2011 (Exhibit 1). Both the magnitude and the duration of the slowdown in Medicare spending growth have no precedent in Medicare’s nearly 50-year history.

Don’t repeal the Affordable Care Act

Repeal of the ACA would let insurers write their own rules again, and wipe out coverage for 16 million Americans.

Fighting for the middle class

Our nation's future – jobs & economic growth – depends on investments made today. The GOP budget fails Americans on these principles.Cuts to Pell Grants hold our kids back.

Children’s health insurance we believe kids' health insurance is a priority.

Stricter payday lending rules Abusive payday lenders take advantage of families trying to get ahead.

I have a problem with him saying we have 3 trillion/yr revenue and we should be able to run the country on it. Then on the other hand he appears overly hawkish saying we will defend our interests over seas. If that's the case 3 trillion will not be enough and you guessed it, the poorest of us will take the brunt of cuts. Why is there always enough money for war but to hell with the needy?

He's just another Republican even though he says he wants to end special interests in Washington. That's what the vote is for.

Can anyone justify this?

Is it another ploy to control every aspect of our lives?
