The Obama Administration and the EPA have officially announced their intent to cut current coal power plant carbon emissions by forty percent. Experts in the field of power production say that these new regulations are impossible to achieve without extremely expensive prototype-based carbon capture technology. These new regulations will certainly have a huge impact on the cost of electricity in the coming years.

So do you see a parallel to the fire regulations you have been researching? Do you see a similar impact on cost? Will these costs impact in any way the enforcement of these regulations? Do the benefits outweigh the costs?

This is an article focusing on Obama's piece of mind regarding the government shutdown. He and I both think it's a waste of time for our government. The fact that a single republican, John Boehner is currently the person controlling how and when the government shutdown will end is wrong. One person should not be in control of the congress on funds that have already been approved. Boehner and republicans refuse to reopen the government as long as Obama doesn't go in front of 20 million people and basically tell them they can't have health insurance.

Why does John Boehner have that power? How well did this strategy work for Republicans? What will happen with the debt ceiling discussion looming ahead in our future?

In this new article CNN covers Obama's apology regarding us citizens losing their healthcare plans regardless of choice, going against what he's said in his campaigns promising us optional better healthcare. This makes me wonder how credible he really is with anything he says.

This is a good question and one that gets at the importance of trust. I found the Gallop poll interesting about how people feel if they will be affected by the Affordable Care Act. Do you think these insurance companies have tried to make the roll out of the public plan more challenging?

This article is about Obama, the current U.S. President, who is trying to outlaw guns by going behind the citizens backs and making it a crime for any citizen to own a gun by not stopping the U.N. from passing international gun control laws. This will allow the secretary of state, without consent from the citizens of the United States, to decide the gun control laws in our country and across the globe. This article came from CNN, which is a reliable news source. I fear Obama's actions are going to start a civil war if this actually happens because it would violate the second amendment right of all U.S. citizens by creating a larger global law banning guns. I am strongly opposed to the U.N. setting our country's gun control laws and want to protect my current rights as a U.S. citizen.

This is A recap of all that's happened in Syria so far, and hopefully what will happen in the future. Its still up in the air right now.

Obama said it was not for America to determine who would lead Syria, but he added: "A leader who slaughtered his citizens and gassed children to death cannot regain the legitimacy to lead a badly fractured country." Does anyone know what this quote has to do with the Natural Rights Philosophy 18th century philosopher John Locke wrote about in Two Treatise of Government?
