JP Morgan is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States. JP Morgan has contracted to provide food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. JP Morgan is paid for each case that it handles, so that means that the more Americans that go on food stamps, the more profits JP Morgan makes. Yes, you read that correctly. When...

Reviewing Con Law
This is my impression of the last week of constitutional law… and the cases we have read about the relationship between the federal government and the state government:
Supreme Court to States: Lets talk about taxes baby!!! Lets talk about you and me!!! Lets talk about all the good things and the bad things there may be!! Lets talk about taxes!!
“Power” can also be...

U.S. Quietly Beginning To Bail On Mubarak →
In the days since the protests in Egypt began, the statements from American leaders have changed subtly day by day, all the time moving in the direction of putting more and more pressure on Hosni Mubarak. Today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took the rhetoric even further:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for an “orderly transition” to democracy in Egypt, but warned there...

Where are we?
It keeps people out of poverty →
Reliance on social security as primary income has dramatically increased… but kept 14 million people above the poverty line…
which isn’t actually saying much as the federal poverty lines are kindda ridiculous..

But its adding to our debt →
I’m FAIRLY certain that FDR did not intend to Social Security to be a primary source of income… it was meant as a supplement to help people get back on their feet during the Depression… and as such… was meant to be temporary legislation…along with welfare… I could be wrong tho.
But once you give benefits you can’t take ‘em away.
What once saved us is now driving us into the ground.

When the news reports more military suicides than combat deaths for the millionth year in a row.
And why do you think all of these poor people are killing themselves? Perhaps it’s because they can’t live with what we made them see and do.
War is not a business and people aren’t machines. They think and feel. How many more deaths until enough is enough?
