Beavan decided that it was time he and his family did something to deal with the practical issues of global warming and environmental sustainability, so he set out on a grand experiment -- to see if he, his wife, Michelle Conlin, their young daughter, and their dog could live for a year in New York City without leaving any sort of carbon footprint. Michelle, a writer for Business Week with a taste for fashion, was a hard sell for the notion of spending a year without electricity, takeout, toilet paper, or motorized transportation, but in time she agreed and found that their new life was
As for whether slashing military spending would deny us needed protection, one could as well ask whether we are safe today with policies that risk "blowback”, bankruptcy, and monetary disarray. All through the debate over health-care reform last year, I cast a somewhat jaundiced eye on those critics who said the United States could not afford it, because frequently those critics also seemed to be supporters of the Iraq war. Their thrift seemed to stop at the war’s edge. They said we could not afford health care, when we plainly could afford it, given our outlandish spending on a war of choice, to say nothing of a Wall Street bailout. $700 billion for the war.

Rosenberg also stated that he “closed all the banks” and let them “reopen once they were stabilized”, made programs like the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Administration), the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), and the WPA (Works Progress Administration) attempting to “help curb unemployment by hiring people for various projects”(Rosenberg). For Roosevelt’s presidency of a three year term he made these plans for Americans. Although the New Deal did not fix the economy, he did, however, “ease the hardships of the Great Depression” (Rosenberg). She said “The major turn-around for the U.S. economy occurred after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into World War II” (Rosenberg). President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that we would join war so with his words we joined a war that turned our economy around.
Obama’s plans to make jobs through stimulus have failed. Everything in our economy is high: Utility bills, health premiums, and gasoline prices. Obama’s own plan to tax the small business owner more instead of giving him a break during these tough economic times.
