Executive Orders: President Obama, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan

Hello, to whomever views this blog.  It has been awhile, but today I am writing about Executive Orders.  Executive Orders are used to implement a change immediately to a law or to stop implementing a law.  Presidents have become more adept to use executive orders especially when the Congress is not approving of the goals they want to accomplish.  Executive Orders can be good and bad for Americans. Orders can be good if they are used to acutally help the people and they can be bad if they are used to eliminate the rights of the people or intentionally surpass the governments checks and balances.

Lately, President Obama has come under scrutiny for the issuing of executive orders because they are being used to surpass the checks and balances of the government and to show Congress that he can o what he wants when he wants too.  This is bad because the President is slowly able to take power from the other branches of government who can serve as a check on the executive branch. Furthermore, this could alienate the people because constitutional rights could become limited.

The point I am trying to make is be watchful of President Obama as he uses to further his political goals in which he sometimes hides as a way of helping the people.  These executive orders make him less answerable to the people, the state governments, other branches of the national government, and the media.  

Do not be surprised if he becomes more tyrannical during the last years of his term.

Copper Stocks Plummets: Recession Likely to be Announced Next Quarter

Copper prices have been plummeting this month and that only means one thing a recession.  

See the news fails to look at the price of copper which is probably the most dumbest thing that anybody can do.  Copper is used for just about everything like infrastructure, the building of houses, vehicles, air conditioning units, etc.  Copper is one of the most widely used resources in this world.  Yes people like to look at the price of gold, but that is not necessarily a good predictor of the economy.  

If the price of copper continues to drop like it is then the Federal Reserve Bank will be announcing another recession.  Technically, we are in a recession...they just do not announce it to the public until the next quarter after the recession has begun.  

Threats of Civil Disobedience by Environmentalists

I was waiting for the Keystone Pipeline issue to resurface and it has!!!!!
Of course we all know that the environmentalists are opposed to it because they do not want harm to come to the vegetation and the animals. Proponents for the Pipeline want to create jobs and be less dependent on imported oil.  Oh America and the first world problems we encounter.  
The Environmentalists forget one thing, what creates revenue? Oh right, money and jobs.  What funds the Envrionmental Protection Agency?  Once again revenue, we need jobs to create revenue.  Unfortunately, the next thing to scientists to be cut is the EPA because they are just an extracurricular branch like NASA.  What makes them think that they are saved from having their funds cut like NASA?  

Those oil rig jobs might help sustain the EPA, you never know. 

I forgot about my civil obedience.  I wonder what those environmentalists would use to create civil disobedience.  Destroy the environment by breaking windows and destroying property?  Which all contribute to the environment they want to save because if anybody wants to rebuild they are going to have to manufacture the necessary equipment. Unless they are just going to be throwing their recycled shoes at people.
