There is the poverty cliff in America that only responsible well-funded national government can stop us from falling over. There is the medical cost cliff that only universal single payer health care will solve. And maybe most ominous in the climate change cliff. We are going the completely opposite direction to solve this and we may soon reach a point of no return.
OBAMA CAMPAINED AND WON ON RAISING TAXES FOR THOSE EARNING MORE THAN $250,000, NOT $1,000,000.
OBAMA, BY THE LATEST COUNT, NOW HAS A WHOPPER OF A MANDATE—he won the election by almost 4% point, not by about 2% point as previously estimated. But Republicans in Washington are still trying to control the agenda, as if the election never happened. I hope Obama will stand tall this time and carry out the mandate the American people gave him! He should never allow Boehner, Ryan and Cantor to try to implement Romney's campaign agenda.
