Economists, scientists warn of rising sea level in Florida (cbsnews.com 10-20-12) - "Over 100 scientists and economists signed a letter to both presidential candidates warning about the dangers of rising sea levels in Florida".
Nobody's waging a war on coal Ryan-----It's called 'Global Warming' resulting in climate change world wide and all the countries in the world are going to have to balance economic growth with cleaner technologies if we want to avert disaster! Of course Romney and Ryan don't appear to be too concerned about the issue or seem to understand the meaning of the words 'balance' and 'sustainability' in their approach to energy policy particularly where it intersects with economic growth. Global Warming is a National Security issue boys and you haven't a clue. Obama has always had a clearer vision and better policy for both the near and long term while these guys want to pull out 'all' the stops and go back to 'business as usual'!
By 2100 10 to 15 million Floridians will have been displaced if levels continue to rise as they are and that's not even the most dire prediction!
Hey, watch the video for yourselves and don't permit yourselves to be dumbed-down by the radical Republican rhetoric!
Wisconsin has suffered under the effects of today's Corporate-owned GOP more than most, perhaps excepting MI and NJ. WI, along with OH, has also shown us how populist spirit can defeat them.
I strongly believe, and fervently hope, that will continue through Nov. and the decade to come - or there won't BE an America by then, just a wasteland of corporate extraction dead zones, and dead seniors.
I guess you do not know what has happened in Wisconsin. Walker took care of a 3.3 billion debt which the former Dem governor tried to ignore and cover up with accounting tricks. Walker just annouced a second year of having money to put in a rainy day fund for the future. The difference between a conservative and the tax and spend libs.
You know I live in Illinois and their were a lot of tense moments for Wisconsin people as a re count of the governor election was done. A lot of union support for a re count in which they really gave the impression that the election would be over turned. However in the end that was not the case. I think it sent a message that even other Americans are tired of unions complaining about their situations while most Americans work in a non union job. I think unions themselves have turned away any sympathy they used to get from other working Americans. The end result was most Wisconsin voters realized that changes had to come to reel in spending. I think that holds true in America as a whole. We need a simpler system of government, a stronger more stable government and less of Americans believe more government involvement solves problems. Obama is not a bad person but his ideology believes that more government control is the answer for everything. It is very much like the European models of government which are now facing huge deficits. Nobody is saying government cannot be used to help business and its people. I just think the people we elected to government have not spent our money very well and the results we have seen have not paid off. No matter if Obama or Romney gets into the Presidency. We have to expect more results from Congress and the President. They work for us. They should do so much better.
The EU has problems partially due to the same influences that gave US the recession.
Some of THEIR fascist elements (what Mussolini defined as State and Industry power merged, or what "we" now shamefully praise as "Biz./Govt. Partnership") are actually stronger than ours.
I suppose, but he'd have to barge into an awful lot of St. Vincent DePauls and re-wash and awful lot of clean dishes to do so. If that doesn't make them see red, I don't know what would! ;-)
Ryan's is a divided district, it's not a sure thing for him. As a Wisconsinite, I'm hoping that we'll lose him both in the House and as VP. We shall surely remain blue.
I think you confuse Ryan with the guy at the top of the Democrat ticket. Universal Insurance (Obamacare) will eliminate the need for Medicare and Medicaid - since everyone is required to buy their own health insurance. If you don't - the IRS will tax and penalize you for not having it.
Romney is out still "creating jobs" I see. Another factory bought out and closed down by Bain and heading for China. This one right now in Illinois. Romney will get to line his pockets again off the backs of the working person.
It's not only Wisconsin. Nobody is talking about politics where I live. We're all getting up, going to work, volunteering, taking care of our kids, "moving forward" as the politicians like to say ad nauseam. We'll vote on 11/6. But we the people keep things going while all these political clowns we $upport live in some kind of netherworld, some mythical Wonderland where nothing gets done despite all the talk and gesticulation. What's the congressional approval rating this week? Are we into the negative numbers yet?
I suggest it's the obstinately low-information laziness you describe that has allowed vast corporate money to flood those few moments you have, with peripherally noticed repetitive propaganda ads and Fake "news."
That's exactly why they've manipulated wages and benefits so LOW that you ARE so overwhelmed.
Stop. Think. Do a little research. Then bother to change it.

Because the job will be in China.

Then they SHOULD be scared.
And the GOP has documented and repeated that FACT ever since the programs began.
