Ayn Rand Hates AmericaEric Cantor said relief aid must be treated like family budget. He says you cant afford both the car and a medical procedure. If it is like
a family budget, the correct analogy is that the family can not afford medical care, the car, or basic improvements because the previous head of household has run up credit card debt paying for wasteful wars, spending sprees at corporations, and rebates for wealthy whores who don't care if the house burns down or not.
This is my congressman, Jim Cooper. Don't always agree with him, but he is dead-on here #p2

Paul Krugman has called it all along. It's 1937 all over againOf course being a conservative means you never have to admit your policies stink, even when they do. They cut government, sending us in the abyss, and then claim we didn't do enough of their voodoo. I wish we still knew what we used to know.

Seventy percent of school districts cut their budgets in 2011, according to the Center on Education Policy. Eighty-four percent anticipate further reductions in 2012. It’s hard to invest more in education, but it’s not impossible. As this Center for Budget Priorities and Policy chart shows, a handful of states are actually increasing their education budgets this year:
What’s so special about Massachusetts, South Carolina and Maryland? None is a leader in overall budget increases, nor do they tend to have lower unemployment rates (Brad Plumer had more on those states in this blog a few weeks ago). Rather, each state has a slightly different driving force behind its education budget bump. Maryland, CBPP explains in a new report, was already “embarking on a program of increased state aid for local school districts when the recession hit, and chose largely to maintain that program.” Other states, such as Massachusetts, have turned to rely more heavily on local financing. South Carolina’s education budget increase, however, turns out not to be much of a bump in the larger scheme of things. The state has actually slashed its education budget more than any other in the recession, as this chart shows:
South Carolina’s slight education budget increase shows the state crawling out of a big hole, rather than leading the pack in school spending. Sent with MobileRSS for iPhone
Interesting commentary about atheists & AA, on how they can beat addiction without a higher power
The crux of this is that it is based on humility, not religion. I submit that true Christianity is all about humility. Pride, according to the Bible got Adam and Eve expelled from the Garden, it got Lucifer banished from Heaven, it was the essence of everything that was wrong with mankind. Jesus on the other hand preached humility, the Sermon on the Mount is the best example, and if you believe in Christ the Messiah, He was God who became man to take on the sins of mankind...complete humility.
It doesn't matter if it happens with the acknowledgment of God in my opinion, it has to happen with the acknowledgment that we are to be humble.
