A Talk About Pure Free Market Capitalism
One of the biggest things we constantly hear about is Pure Free Market Capitalism. I thought I would take some time and talk about it. It is believed by mostly conservatives in every country that if Capitalists were free and not weighed down by taxes or regulations or even fees that eventually the world would be a far better place. Resources being used through the direction of the Capitalists would be developed to their fullest potential in the pursuit of maximizing profits. Capitalists would be able through seeking return on investments to improve the overall quality of life. As Capitalists move to fill various niches in order to earn a profit there will be those who answer the various environmental issues as well. In the end the nation will be prosperous and all will benefit greatly enjoying the effects of trickledown.

Climate Change is a Security Issue, President Insists
February 27th (Newport News, VA) – The President wants the country to focus in on five very specific scientific endeavors; ones that the administration says will tackle “the current real security problems and human toll due to climate change”, but will also set the United States up for a long-term future. By attempting to frame these issues both as “security” and “climate change”, the President seems to be hoping to woo enough Republicans and Democrats into supporting a common cause, even if it is for entirely different reasons.

The Problem with America.. Content Warning.
I would like to open this with some personal thoughts. I must first establish that I do like the USA and I think the country has many good things about it. I also believe that these good things are overshadowed by the bad things that seem to plague the country, due to the way sensationalism-driven mediums present information nowadays.

Is America on the Cusp of a Healthcare Revolution?
February 27th (Atlanta, GA) – Last night (February 26th), the President of the United States stood before a joint-session of Congress to deliver a rare first-year State of the Union Address. While those in attendance and the millions watching at home never learned if the condition of the country was “strong” or some other similar terminology, the President took the opportunity to lambast the Legislative and Judicial Branches for past perceived grievances. Yet after spending a good portion of the opening statement attacking these coequal parts of government, the President did take a significant amount of time to explain that there is usually more agreement than not, despite the rhetoric and the “media hype” of partisanship.
