Seriously, they were happy to hear new ways how president Obama wants to facilitate destroying the family in tHe USA, in addition to how he is destroying this country before he has to leave office.
Can you imagine how much he will bloviate when leaving the White House at pthe end of his second term.
OBAMA: "We've set aside more public lands and waters than any administration in history."
THE FACTS: Waters is the key word here. Before expanding the Pacific Remote Islands National Monument last year from almost 87,000 square miles to more than 490,000 square miles, Obama had protected far fewer acres than his four predecessors, including President George W. Bush.
Expansion of the massive Pacific islands monument puts Obama on top. It's nearly all water, however, and the move has limited practical implications. While it bans commercial fishing, deep-sea mining and other extraction of underwater resources, little fishing or drilling occur in the mid-ocean region now.
He talked about looking at policy that works - don't get stuck in the muck and mire of what isn't working, or on the literal words of his speech.....
How do you think our country got the point where we (in history) got free public schools? How do you think our country developed child labor laws? Do you just think a president says lets do it and it gets done? It takes congress and state government and committees to develop implementation policies.
--- but of course if you just want to sit on the sidelines and act like the one of the deaf, dumb or blind monkeys - so be it. Just get out of my way, when I have been and will continue to be one of those middle class hard working Americans.
So why not free community college - he is asking the State's because it is a State job. and sadly So of course with stinking republican governor Scott - Florida will not be able to get free college because Scott is a dickhead.
Ccincy: Political figures are going to help Americans prosper?WE have homeless people,unemployed people.Our troops are in harms way,Etc etc etc.
Yes unfortunately the political figures do help Americans prosper. There is a process. There are three branches of government. It starts with a policy idea. It must go to the local politicians and government folks in the individual States.
And as far as the homeless - the federal government give billions to States to end homelessness. I know because I work in this arena - and their policies and implementation plan are working - it is not perfect - it requires the States and local governments, charities, not profit organizations, community leaders to see to how the community needs to address the individual issues in their own community.
This Thursday we are conducting a census of our homeless population. Every community does this. We count from 11 at night to well into the morning all those people that are sleeping in places that are unfit for human habitation. We survey all those in our shelters.
I cannot speak to how policy in the military works - it needs to be improved.
Harry Browne’s famous quote: “Government is good at one thing: It knows how to break your legs, hand you a crutch, and say, ‘See, if it weren’t for the government, you wouldn’t be able to walk’”
I think sometimes the world is right about Americans when they say we don't know much about ourselves or our geography. We are woefully politically and socially ignorant as to how things get done in America.
It is not about private enterprise or private businesses. We have major institutions that operate in very successful ways. and yet some many of us are stupid when it comes to how our government works to address the needs of the people.
and our media is plays upon our fears and gives us extreme and extra ordinary examples that play on the myths about us. If you look at the 308 million of us..... you are bound to find crazy stories about what does not work in America. but if you look at most of us....
we want to prosper - so lets look at the policy changes that are being proposed. Let's ask congress to get off their bickering backsides and work.
