How You Frame The Story

We never hear or see news headlines slanted in a favorable light. Here are a few examples:
 
Employment Reaches 93 Percent,  Nearly 93 percent of Americans are gainfully employed according to the latest Dept. of Labor Statistics.  Sadly, there are some still unemployed, but something is positive about 93 present of us being employed.
 
Percent Of Americans Covered By Insurance At 86 Percent. (Pre Affordable Healthcare Act) So, somebody decided to change healthcare for everyone although a vast majority of Americans were happy with their healthcare. The best answer inept politicians could come up with was to destroy the healthcare system that 86 percent were happy with to accommodate the 14 percent who were uninsured, (most by choice). Wonderful idea. Don’t forget that these same politicians exempted themselves from the law.
Global Warming Shift to Global Cooling. While so called experts point to CO2 as the reason for global warming, there is no evidence that supports that theory. The concept is based on a computer model developed 25 years ago that has proven to be wrong. Yet, they keep the fight going to get funding. Volcanic eruptions spews more CO2 than anything man does. Oh, by the way, CO2 is what plant life requires to survive. Why are not the environmental folks supporting CO2 emissions? Answer: there is no financial or political gain to be had with that position. Oh, and there are traders out there licking their lips for the opportunity to force trade CO2 credits. It’s a scam. Do the math. Our atmosphere consists of approximately 78% Nitrogen (N2), 21 percent Oxygen (O2), and 1% everything else such as Argon (.93%), carbon dioxide (.039%), neon (.0018), helium (.000524) and minute amounts of several other gases.
 
Antarctic Ice Growing to Record Levels. It’s true. While we have all heard about ice retreating in the northern hemisphere, they don’t tell you that ice is growing in the southern hemisphere at record rates.  There are cyclical weather patterns that mother nature controls, man has no significant effect on global climate. Perhaps one could argue that concrete and steel concentrated in relatively  small areas like Manhattan can influence local temperatures in that vary defined space, but those are insignificant on a global basis.
Crime Rates Higher In Gun Free Zones. Check it out yourself. Cities with the strictest and most unconstitutional gun laws have the highest crime rates. Nearly every mass shooting occurred in a gun free zone. Look at Mexico, banning guns in Mexico made life easy for the drug cartels and citizens are murdered every day. Closer to home, look at Chicago and Washington D.C., violent crime increased as a result of gun bans. So why does government want to band guns when it is clear that gun control does not limit crime. The answer can only be to subjugate those who would stand in the way of absolute supremacy.  Gun free zones create a false sense of security because a sign does not prevent guns from being within the zone. Here is the best analogy, instead of locking your doors at night, just put a sign out that says “do not enter”. It will have the same affect.
A Good Education Achievable In US. The majority of students in America are getting a good education. The education possibilities in the US are enormous if you are willing to do what is necessary to achieve your educational goals.  Yes, there are problems within the education system and improvements are necessary to make getting a good education more accessible to more young people. The bottom line is that if parents and students want good educational opportunities, they are out there to be had. We can’t always talk about the things that are not working without considering the elements that are. Focus on the areas where we are having success and try to expand the elements that lead to achievement into areas where they do not exist.
 
The biggest problem we face in the US is that government has taken on too large a role in our daily lives and the people we have elected to run the nation are proving to be incompetent as a whole.  Nearly everything the government does is inefficient and or produces inadequate results. In the real world, businesses and individuals make  necessary changes when something is not working as it was designed. Government on the other hand has the propensity to continue failed programs regardless of the result achieved. It seems the only solutions politicians can come up with is to throw more money at issues that have already demonstrated a lack of success. The problem is that they have to get the money from the people. We the people are tapped out. They have overspent and their ideas do not work. We need new leadership from top to bottom.  Vote new!
