Obama Administration to Honor ‘Green’ Schools That Teach ‘Environmental Literacy’ | CNSnews.com

How about teaching reading, writing and Math....?...like EVERY OTHER NATION UNDER GOD? Just a thought?!

Next year on Earth Day, the Obama administration plans to announce which U.S. schools have been selected as “Green Ribbon Schools,” a designation that will “honor” schools for “creating healthy and sustainable learning environments” and for “teaching environmental literacy.”"

"The Debate Democrats Fear"

With Huckabee Out, No Clear GOP Front-Runner

Watch out for Herman Cain...found him about 18 months ago after reading something he wrote. He's EXCELLENT! Great FACEBOOK site!

With Mike Huckabee out of the race for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, three well-known politicians, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Newt Gingrich, emerge as leaders in Republicans' preferences. Republicans, however, have less intensely positive feelings about these three than they did about Huckabee. Two less well-known potential candidates, Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain, generate high levels of enthusiasm among Republicans who recognize them."

CBO says taxing cars by the mile could raise money for highways - The Hill's Floor Action

Besides this being a business and household killer....does anyone out there in their RIGHT MIND actually believe this money would go into the "Highway Trust Fund" and not the General SLUSH FUND to be further squandered? If they impose this - what are they going to relieve to give us incentive....???.....What????? Anything? of course not....they want more, and more, and more.......

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) on Tuesday said the imposition of a new tax on cars and trucks based on how many miles they drive would be one way of generating revenues for the federal Highway Trust Fund."

An FDA advisory panel has recommended delisting Avastin from official government formularies for late-stage breast cancer treatment due to cost concerns.

Myth-Busting the Debt Limit | The Foundry

The United States today hit an all-time high debt, passing $14 trillion, according to Associated Press reports.

Could Technical Default Today Save America from Greek-Style Fiscal Disaster in the Future? - Big Government

Here’s a sure-fire prediction, assuming GOPers in the House actually are willing to engage in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with Obama on the debt limit.

o There will be lots of political drama.

o We will get to a point where the federal government exhausts its borrowing authority.

o At that point, either Geithner or Bernanke (or probably both) will make some completely dishonest statements designed to rattle financial markets.

o The establishment media will echo those statements.

o The stock market and/or bond market will have a negative reaction.

o Republican resolve will evaporate like a drop of water in the Mojave Desert.

o The debt limit will be increased without any meaningful fiscal reform."

HHS approves 200 more new healthcare reform waivers - The Hill's Healthwatch

But WAIT! Whoa Nellie! Isn't this supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread????? We "Little" people have to deal with it!?!?!?!?!? Why do you think everyone is bailing....because once they "voted for it" to find out "What's in it" they realized what a piece of GARBAGE they'd voted into law??????

The Obama administration approved 204 new waivers to Democrats' healthcare reform law over the past month, bringing the total to 1,372.

The waivers are temporary and only apply to one provision of the law, which requires health plans to offer at least $750,000 worth of annual medical benefits before leaving patients to fend for themselves. Still, Republicans have assailed the waivers as a sign of both favoritism and of major problems with the law."

U.S. employment growth accelerated last month as the economy added 244,000 jobs, but the unemployment rate rose to 9 percent, the Labor Department reported on Friday.

The report easily bested analysts' expectations for a decidedly mediocre jobs report and marked the fastest rate of employment growth since last year when census hiring inflated numbers.
