Do teachers still read this nursery rhyme to little children in class?

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails,
That's what little boys are made of.

What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and all things nice,
That's what little girls are made of

Does Obama truly believe that the TPP will help American workers?

What does he know that he's not telling us?

I find it hard to fathom that he would deliberately want something that he knows
would hurt American jobs.

Would he actually do something so deliberate knowing he will hurt not only the middle class in this country but hurt the environment
in the process . to do something that will only really help corporations and the mega rich in this world while hurting the middle class.

Is he actually that kind of man?

Explain to me about the ACA and what I was told about a new tax on my health care plan?

Will I be taxed more because my employer offers us a good health care plan?

From what I was told I might be taxed another $1100 a year through my payroll tax because
it's considered a Cadillac insurance plan?

Is this right , I just got this new job

Turns Out, Joe Biden Was Right About Dividing Iraq

January 30, 2014 In his new book Duty: Memoir of a Secretary at War, Robert Gates memorably impugns Joe Biden's judgment as "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." Central to his argument is Biden's opposition to the "troop surge" that President Bush and then-Defense Secretary Gates launched in 2007 to bolster a shaky government in Baghdad and save Iraq from a sectarian civil war


Biden, then a senator, championed a more federal system explicitly allowed by the Iraqi constitution (at the insistence of the Kurds), devolving power from the central government in Baghdad to the provinces. Although Biden denied it at the time, his proposal would almost certainly have led to the de facto soft partition of Iraq into three autonomous regions dominated by Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds. A similar approach in the 1990s patched together Bosnia out of the detritus of the Balkans civil war between Serbs, Croats, and Muslims. In a 2007 op-ed, Biden warned, "If the United States can't put this federalism idea on track, we will have no chance for a political settlement in Iraq and, without that, no chance for leaving Iraq without leaving chaos behind
