Thursday, March 1, 2012 @ 5:45 pm | EPA Chief Lisa Jackson Defends $25K Interpretive Dance Grant, “They’re Very Well Respected”…

Really? – You’re going to try and justify this?

(PJM) — EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing this week that she isn’t familiar with the “kinesthetic learning” for which a dance company got a $25,000 grant, but understands that they’re “quite well-respected.”

Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) questioned Jackson about the 2011 allotment made through the Environmental Justice Small Grants Program, particularly in light of EPA complaints about funding shortages. [...]

“The project intends to produce innovative lectures, demonstrations and movement classes in 10 elementary schools,” the document describes. “Kinesthetic learning will be used to examine air quality issues and encourage youth and their families to adopt healthy living practices.”

“I’ve read about it and we are reviewing,” Jackson said. “It’s with a very well-respected group. . . that uses dance to educate. . . . Apparently they have a long history of doing this and are quite well-respected.”

TSX jumps on bank earnings, U.S., China data

Oil climbed above $123 a barrel on the upbeat China number and on U.S. data that showed Americans filed fewer new claims for jobless benefits last week, another sign of health in the world's No. 1 economy.

The loonie rose 0.43 of a cent to 101.49 cents US.

Don't trust the government data!!!

Karzai has to maintain control of the country before it collapses into chaos and our troops get stuck there for 10 more years to protect him. We never should have been there in the first place, but you can blame yourself and your friends for supporting this war from the jump.

You thought then, that it was a GREAT IDEA and now you have a problem with it?

Sheesh.

Peace.

thought Afghanistan was O's war!!

Re: Obamanomics

So I'm suddenly wondering, "What if...." What if the right in the country got what they want tomorrow? What if we balanced the budget tomorrow? Federal, State and local? How many people would be sent home directly from government jobs and how many orders would be cancelled and how many industries would implode within the month due to the immediate dissolution of their biggest customer? What would the unemployment number be? Would it be Obama's fault?

Re: Obamanomics

Obama had people in the crowd screaming "No" when he said that oil companies make mega bucks and should the gov't be giving them money.

Why didn't he also say that Planned Parenthood makes mega bucks and should the gov't be giving them money???

No it's not his fault(alone), that would be a 100 years of Keynesian economics experiment with debt fiat money, fractional banking and a private central bank which are finally about to be finished. But we will just kick the can down on the road (the road will end) and pretend that we have a wonderful growing economy and no need to worry, huge trade deficits, listening the Status Que about we need this and that, american jobs, just spend like no tomorrow, bigger military budget, half of the people who work doesn't even pay taxes. We didn't default yet because the big guys who creates fiat currencies around the world are still backing us. This whole system is like a cancer now, it will never disappear, it will just grow.

The benefits obligations are outrages to me, it's mathematically impossible to pay it out later (ponzi scheme), I already know I won't get a single penny from my SS while they take it out from my paycheck, it will run out of money by (projected) 2025, also paying taxes to cover the interest on the national debt feels pretty awesome too. There is no way out of this, not even with Ron Paul who says he will balance the budget. Just take a look at Greece today a lot of happy protesters, we can be just like that very soon (with guns)...
It's nothing personal against Obama, but he is pretending like he doesn't know what the hell is going on. I need someone who has the guts to face at least half of these issues, arrest the banksters who committed fraud and don't put them in as financial adviser to the White House, some of whom says doing God's work.

The unemployment number and the inflation is fudged, anybody can tell that it is not 8 % or 2 % for inflation.
I mean somebody has to grow some balls and face these issues or at least try to solve some of it and not delaying it. But of course if Obama knows something more about a positive future than the public, I guess nothing bad will happen. Crossed my fingers.
