Why Eating Healthy Costs More

    It’s true, eating  healthy costs more. At least it does upfront, the personal and national (not to mention genetic) health costs down the line are far cheaper. The problem is with limited funds to feed yourself or your family it’s a difficult choice to make for many. It all boils down to corporate lobbying efforts, the perpetual profit chase and a general f*ck you, pay me attitude. The government subsidizes certain industries which result in those crops becoming dominate and it’s products cheaper.

Obama Willing To Risk Reelection To Make Debt Deal Happen

The ever cool-headed Obama apparently felt the effects of the summer heat as he responded to the stall tactics of Eric Cantor and the Republicans on the debt ceiling talks. Obama and the Democrats have been willing to compromise on their biggest issues, mainly discretionary spending and programs like Medicare and Social Security, but the Republicans refuse to budge on anything to resolve the debt ceiling issue. This isn’t anything new though, the Republicans have done this since Obama took office leaving the President with little choice in many cases but to cave in causing many of the President’s supporters...

U.S. Debt Ceiling August 2nd Deadline Inches Closer

Republican lawmakers say that if they raise the limit they need a commitment from the White House for more spending cuts. The Obama administration has resisted the idea of including spending caps or other budget-process reforms in legislation to raise the debit ceiling, arguing that ensuring the government’s solvency is too important to be held hostage to other issues.

America Flying Drones Over 6 Countries 2

America Flying Drones Over 6 Countries

Somalia is now the sixth country over which the United States is flying attack drones. The 6th country. Now I’m not saying the situation in Somalia isn’t dire and that people don’t need help. However being involved in 6 foreign conflicts at the same time while the citizens of the United States are going through difficult economic times is irresponsible. While America is facing a possible government shut down due to budgetary issues and politicians in DC were shamed into cutting their vacation short to work it out, it’s not hard to think that these conflicts are one place where...
