    Unemployment dropped by 0.3 percentage points, to 4.6 percent, last month - the lowest rate since 2007 - according to the monthly jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report says the U.S. added 178,000 new jobs in November. That's about what economists had expected.

    This is definitely beneficial to the economy that there are more people in the country working, though the decrease in wages seems bad, the overall benefit is much greater. And plus its still greater than it was last year so it's all good

    It's very unlikely that all or even most of Trump's cabinet nominees will be confirmed by the Senate Friday, but tradition means that the members of President Barack Obama's current cabinet all depart at noon, leaving many posts without permanent leaders on Day One of Trump's presidency.

    I'm worried that no one will want to work with Trump in the cabinet. You don't what kind of people would want to work with him either.

    Suffering from the drug epidemic isn't what sets Ithaca apart. It's how their mayor wants to deal with it that makes Ithaca unique. The city is nestled along the southern shores of Lake Cayuga and consistently recognized as a great place to live in United States.

    There have been other countries who have tried similar approaches and it showed a dramatic drop in violent crime. It might seem risky but the people who are addicted to heroin are using no matter what the laws allow.

    why would you do that when all thats going to do is make the crime rate over that drug and stuff go down. But yet therewill still be those people who do nothing but the drug and not get a job so there are still to many people relying on the government to take care of them for the rest of their life.

    Though illegal immigrants are prohibited from receiving similar tax credits, a quirk in the law allows them to qualify for the child tax credit. And it's a "refundable" credit, meaning recipients can reap the money -- with average checks totaling about $1,800 -- even if they've paid no taxes

    This is the speech of Severn Suzuki, at the time a 12 year old girl who stood up in front of the UN to give voice to those who didn't have one. Read the speech and watch the video at home if you can. It's true and motivating, but it's sad that we haven't seen a change yet.
