New Material

Ok, it has been a while so I want to go over a list of things that have taken place recently.

• Leaders throughout the world are meeting in Copenhagen to discuss climate change and different policies on environmental issues.  One thing that they have been discussing is making more prominent countries, like the U.S., pay developing countries to go "green".  America would have to send payments to China and India.
• Obama just received the Nobel Peace prize.  There has been a lot of controversy around this for many months.  He was nominated just days into office on what he "might" do in his presidency.
• Congress voted down an amendment on health care to not allow federal money to fund abortions.  Up to now people cannot use federal money to fund abortions, but unless it explicitly says in the health care bill that money cannot be used for abortions it still leaves the door open.
• Congress will be voting to raise the debt ceiling.  The government is spending so much money that they have to vote to raise the debt ceiling.  If this does not pass drastic cuts will have to be made and possibly for the better.  

More news to come... stay aware
