US trade agreements may lead to filling North Korean coffers...
"But let’s do the math here. The US government estimates that the North Koreans are 5 years and $200 million away from having nuclear capacity. I understand why KORUS would benefit the mega corporations that use the Chamber of Commerce as their front, the ones that hope to profiteer off of “slave labor” in Kaesong. But how exactly is it good for the American people to allow North Korea access to US markets? I just don’t see the upside to offshoring jobs, increasing the trade deficit and writing a check to North Korea to spend on nukes."...Not to mention the billions in trade deficits thousands of jobs lost.

"What’s remarkable, however, is that with the error pointed out, Heritage is digging in its heels and acting snide at those of us who are trying to point out the truth.""So what would be the penalty for disobeying that order? Nothing, it turns out."
"They are too close to industry, concealing problems, rather than revealing and dealing with them."
"The lease deals are arranged between seemingly corrupt African leaders..."
"...reportedly without disclosing the details to the members of the communities that will be displaced because of the land development, and investors such as hedge fund managers."A sensible 2012 budget that eliminates the deficit in 10 years.
"However, a growing number of climate scientists are now prepared to adopt a far more aggressive posture..."
"...arguing that the climate has already changed enough for it to be affecting the probability of an extreme weather event, whether it is an intense hurricane, a major flood or a devasating drought."2010: The warmest year on record.
