Trump Administration Restricts News from Federal Scientists at USDA, EPA - 1 views

  •  
    Pres. Donald Trump is now restricting scientist's from sharing their research. Officials at the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) have both let their staff know that they can not discuss research done by the agency or any departmental restrictions with anyone outside of the agency. This includes talking to the news, releasing photos, posting on social media, and more.
  •  
    it is frightening to me that our new administration and President are trying to silence science based departments. The taxpayer funds the research that goes on, and therefore has a right to know the outcomes of what they are funding. Gagging scientists because you do not like or agree with what they are saying is childish and has no place in our government.

    Do you believe that it takes a specific criteria in order to be a refugee? And what are your views on this if a specific criteria isn't met?
  •  
    I know we should be helping each other out but accepting a lot of refugees all at a time will cause a lot of potential problems. Not that I do not think humanity plays a big role in this but social and educational issues are what we should be also considering. Can we promise to afford them their living standard? Can we provide each of them with a decent job while the people in the country itself are still unemployed?
  •  
    I think that is a great question. Studies show that children or youth refugees are woefully unsuccessful unless their parents are gainfully employed, educated, and many other incredulous factors. Allowing refugees into the country is a completely separate topic than building an entire social infrastructure funded by American taxpayer funds. In order for these refugees to be successful the government is spending millions of dollars per family, and tens of millions per family unit after five years of residence. I am of the opinion we need a complete overhaul of the existing system. I can simply not encourage immigrants to come to my homeland when my kinsmen are dying at astonishing rates at the hands of mental disorders, suicide, poverty, and a host of other contributors. We could be investing those funds into saving Americans, not providing for foreigners.

    the most interesting part of this article is when it was said that food stamp recipients are ripping off taxpayers. I know that alot of people see food stamp people as freeloaders and its due to the common conception of people taking advantage of things they don't need. I don't think it is really fair to judge without being in that persons shoes.
  •  
    I think welfare is needed and it's important to continue the program. I do however feel that the system needs to change to prevent those that do take advantage, sell their food stamps and cheat the system can't. Unfortunalty this ruins it for those who really need the help and are trying to make ends meet.
  •  
    It is important that Americans help out fellow citizens when they are struggling but I do not think that we should allow people to remain on food stamps and government assistance indefinitely. Lets form a plan to help people find and maintain a job that will take care the that person and their family.
