Profane Trump: 'Our leaders are ... stupid people'

It seems the more and more Donald Trump wants to become president, the more and more controversy he brings along with him. In a Las Vegas speech given  by the wanna-be canidate, Trump cussed up a storm  saying, "F--king Politicians" and calling out president Obama. He goes on to say that Obama would rather make schools over seas, rather then here in the U.S. In my personal opinion, Trump is not only a disgrace to Americans across the nation,  he is a joke in the political  world, and has no right to even be associated into politics.

Discussion Reflection: Immigration Refrom

In my opinion the class discussion we had was full of good topics, and heated debate. I for one saw that  Mark Arnold made some very well thoughtout arguments, that left me wanting for more. Mark brought up a very good point that immigrant workers are essential to not only our economy, they make up the vast majority of the workforce here in America. I for one agree on this matter, and stood by my arguments at the end of the discuttion. I felt that there was also some arguments that were more of like statements, and were rhetorical. To this I say that the discussion was an overall sucess, and that as a group we are begining  to grow and grow more as we learn form not only eachother, but from the wonderful  world of  politics.

Obama puts new national security team in place

In this article pertaining mainly on national security, Obama replaces a general for a CIA director. Now, the reason Obama has the CIA and the military working together is simple. My theory is, he wants to infiltrate Afghanistan rebel leaders as soon as possible. With the United States in heavy debt, we cannot afford to keep funding a never ending war. That is why we have continuously dried out our country through budget cuts, and accumulated 400 billions dollars, and will continue to fund this oil war. That is why we need to stop what were doing, and put an end to this war, before we run the country into bankruptcy.

Obama says new task force will examine gas prices

   To most Americans, 4 dollars per gallon at the gas pump is outrageous. President Barrack Obama talked about why gas prices have risen over the past couple of months. He explained that tensions in northern Africa, and the Middle East has caused the spike in oil. He does not like the fact that there maybe companies out there who are, “cheating the Americans people, just to make a quick buck.” Basically, the cause is our involvement in the wars in Iran, Afghanistan, and Africa.

On the road to sell deficit approach, Obama 'optimistic' about bipartisan plan

The economy can only be stabilized, if Republicans and Democrats stop they’re bickering, and do the job they are suppose to do. We all know that budget cuts will effect/affect us all in some way, but we need to act together. Republicans have always been depicted as the wealthy and, and Democrats as looking out for the American public. Many Republicans don’t like the fact that budget cuts are going to come out of they’re wealth, and Democrats from they’re Medicare. Truth is, everyone’s going to get hurt from this new proposal. However, we will all reap the benefits from it, should we chose to work together, and as one.

NYT: 'Gang of six' in Senate seeking a plan on debt

      In this article titled,” Gang of Six..” out of president Barrack Obama’s proposal on the 4 trillion dollar plan to eliminate debt, six senators rose for a bipartisanship. Three senators and three democrats join together to discuss the plan. Many of the senators’ are older, and are experienced in this particular situation. To that they came up with a reliable solution. Should Republicans agree to higher taxes, and reduced military spending. Democrats would agree to curb Medicare and Medicaid spending.

The GOP's big gamble

Republicans made a unanamious decision to cut Medicare for people under 55. The votes held were about half and half, but for the nation it seems like a dumb move. I for one am reliant on Medicare to provide with with healt benifits. Therefore, I am sure I speak for everyone when I say this, "Dont eliminate out health benifits!"

QOW President Barrack Obama's Approach on 14 trillion dollar deficit

In this video, President Barrack Obama addresses the nation on what he will plan to do, to stabilize our economy. First, Obama plans to use a, “scalpel, instead of a machete.” to eliminate our nation’s debt. Second, out president plans to make a plan over the next couple of years to save over 4 trillion dollars. Finally, he plans to invest in medical research, education, and in the futures of America. To this I say, finally. Someone has stood up, and admitted to fault. Obviously, both Democratic and Republicans cannot do this on their own. Their bickering is a lost cause, as millions of dollars are still wasted everyday. Now, our president has come fourth to fix the mistakes of our past. He will do it as it should be as well, the right way. Instead of taking away money from Social Security, Medicare, and other government programs. We shall take it from the hands of the giving person, an American with a good heart. We have always been a nation where we can make enough, to give enough to our poor. That has always been the American dream, according to our Obama. I agree with hit statement, and it brings fourth much optimism for the future. As a nation, we are going to take this economy piece by piece, and fix it one at a time. I understand now why young Americans, like myself, could not grasp the meaning of why we are so much in debt. Why we could not just wish the economy to be stable. It is because it never has been, and never will be. That is why I can count on, not only our president, but in our people to come together and make this dream a reality.

In financial crisis, no prosecutions of top figures

Basically what this article is trying to imply is, for the millions that were lost in risky loans and misuse of money, there was no real punishment. The people that owned The Federal Reserve Bank in New York, Manhattan simply walked away without even a slap on the wrist. Remembering, that this bank  sees over thousands, if not millions of banks across the nation. Many financial workers that directly effect the economy were put onto trial, and later dismissed of the charges. Which leaves the question, why are the people who messed up our economy, still working in out bank systems today?

This program will allow employers to enter the immigrants into a system especially for this purpose.

Debate stirred over 1st major US tar sands mine

As gas prices begin to skyrocket to 5.00 a gallon, a new proposal is made in Utah. In Utah, there is oil useable to supply America’s high demand for gasoline. It proposes we make oil from a tar like substance that grow on the surface. However, the process demands a high percentage of water, and valuable resources. It also is somewhat risky, and may pollute the area surrounding it, including, the Colorado River. Environmentalists say that the risks simply outweigh the benefits, and should not be taken into use. The companies that plan take the oil say the process is harmless, and will leave Utah the way it was. A hearing is set to take place May 25^th discussing the topic.

Mexican cartels corrupting more US border officials?

Due to illegal drug trafficking spilling into U.S soil, cartels turn to bribe U.S. border patrol man into, "looking the other way." Corruption has long since existed within the border patrol in the previous years. In face, almost 80% of all U.S border patrol men have already been arrested. With even more and more border patrol men under investigation, Obama steps in to make changes in watching those still out there. Thirteen F.B.I agents have been appointed to this assignment, along with the border officials to submit to polygraph screenings.

Obama: Shutdown would be 'all because of politics'

In the question of who is to blame for the total governmetn shutdown, the answer is politics. So much political debate has happened that everything will have to shutdown. Some blame the Republicans, others blame The Conservative Tea Party, or even the Democratic party. I personally blame Boehner for his rash actions in making Obama abandoning his position to try and close the White House. To me, it seems saving over billions of dollars sounds good in our economy right now.

Obama: U.S. economy cannot afford shutdown

In the recent rumors of a total government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner discusses alternatives to cut spending. Should the White House shutdown, it could possibly save America 33 billion dollars. However, there is a lot of political debate, as to, whether or not it is a good decision. The alternative plan is to keep government running, and cut major spending in government operations. In essence, it would cut spending through a long period of time, by passing bills. To an extent this seems reasonable, but in my opinion, we should do both.
