It's time to rid the Senate of someone worked the last 4 years to "make Obama a one time president." He has obviously failed. We need Senators who represent the needs of their constituents and are working for the benefit of all of us, not their own personal agendas.

As a CPA I am amazed at how few people know that social security tax applies only to the first $110,000 of earned income. Even though this "cap" will rise in 2013 to a little over $113,000, people don't realize that higher income earners are only taxed on this amount and that any amount they earn over the cap does not have to pay social security tax. Removing the "cap" and taxing all levels of earned income would go a long way to mitigating any shortages in the social security trust fund in the future.

We are outraged by petitions to the President's office requesting peaceful succession from the Union. These people do not represent us.

Very simple, Mitch McConnell is hell bent on stopping democrats from making any significant progress on any substantial issue and has brought Congressional business to a screeching holt by utilizing the dreaded filibuster.

im a welder and in this field it is tuff to find a job becouse most companies have switched to a 90/10 work force. where 90%hire ons and 10% permanent temps. this does not sound like alot but it is becoming common practice to only hire the management/ suppervisors and have the workers as permanent temps. i have personally watched as companies would tell the temps (some of wich have been working at the companie for years) that there are no positions availabe as we watched a what i assume is a friend or familey member gets hired on off the street. this ruins what illusion of worker rights we have left and proves to be an unstable ground for working families to stand on.

$1.2 trillion was wiped out from the global economy this year as a result of a warming planet, which is 1.6% of the world economy, according to the Dara Group's report, Climate Vulnerability Monitor. The study also estimates costs associated with warming to increase to 3.2% of the world economy by 2030, leaving world GDP nearly stagnant, and falling. It is way past due that the US Government wake up to the sobering fact that climate change and economic decline must be fought with trillions of dollars in large infrastructure projects to renew our energy, transportation, and communication grids, as well as reshape urban planning in order to create a more balanced relationship between humans, resources, and nature.
