Voldemort is much more menacing than warmer winters. Especially when it's not true:

Oh, and you thought I was fibbing when I said it was fiction.

Quote:Today's release of the study, titled Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States, was overseen by a San Francisco-based media consulting company, and was part of a carefully crafted strategy by the White House to help build public support for a climate change bill that has run into opposition from some Democrats as well as Republicans in Congress.

The nearly 200-page study was scrubbed of the usual scientific jargon,

I predict Obama will go 0 for 3 on the following:

"Health Care Reform"

"Cap and Trade, Energy Tax, Environmental Tax"

"Comprehensive Immigration Reform"

Why? We can't afford this multi-Trillion Dollar BS

They dont tell you that once these Illegals obtain some sort of legal status, they then qualify for the Health Care Program. Add another 12 million "uninsured"...

The quicker we kill the Health Care Reform, the quicker we can nix that $600 Billion + budget set aside for the program. That will make the deficit a bit better.

Maybe it's just the limited things I read, but I don't see as much resistance coming on Cap and Trade. I can't explain it, may be there isn't just a single reason. I think some folks are duped by the complexity and vagueness. Also there's sort of a distance between it and them..."It won't affect me directly"

Health care is split, as usual. If the real numbers come out, it should kill it. But there are still people who see those numbers and think it's great. Math illiteracy.

Immigration? That gets snuck thru a lot. And w/ the Pelosi's and Feinstein's being in the most affected states, I'm not sure it won't go thru.

When the Carbon Tax kicks in and a person's power bill triples, people will go beserk.

But here is a very good reason to cut back on Federal Spending....

China sells US bonds to 'show concern'

A decision by China to reduce its US Treasury holdings suggests concern about the US attitude towards its economic woes, Chinese economists were quoted as saying in state media Wednesday.

The remarks, coming after US data showed a modest decline in Chinese investments in US government bonds, were in contrast to an earlier statement in Beijing which had said the recent sell-off was a routine transaction.

China is implying to the US, more or less, that it should adopt a more pragmatic and responsible attitude to maintain the stability of the dollar," He Maochun, a political scientist at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times.

According to US Treasury data issued Monday, Beijing owned 763.5 billion dollars in US securities in April, down from 767.9 billion dollars in March.

It was the first month since June 2008 that Beijing failed to purchase more US T-bills.

Zhang Bin, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said China's move showed a more cautious attitude.

"It is unclear whether the reduction will continue because the amount is so small. But the cut signals caution of governments or institutions toward US Treasury bonds," Zhang told Xinhua news agency.

China's foreign ministry said Tuesday that its purchases of US Treasuries remained based on "security, liquidity and value preservation".

Government runs on FEAR. Those in search of power have long ago figured out that if you trot out a new boogyman every so often it allows them to steal from the people without them even noticing. They then funnel the cash to their friends in the private sector..usually the industrial military and security complex or environmental terrorist organizations(depending on their gang affiliation). The cycle of corruption is endless and is built mostly on FEAR.03-banghead
