Deregulation
"The United States subsidizes agriculture because it believes the food supply is too critical to the Nation's well-being to be governed by uncontrolled market forces."
Ha, Ha! They don't want food to go uncontrolled so they subsidize it. Yet everything else is worthy of Reagan style deregulation because those "things" are not that important.
Dear Mr. Clay:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding farm subsidies. I appreciate hearing from you about this issue.
Farm subsidies are government programs providing benefits to farmers for the purpose of stabilizing food prices, ensuring plentiful food production and guaranteeing farmers' basic incomes. The United States subsidizes agriculture because it believes the food supply is too critical to the Nation's well-being to be governed by uncontrolled market forces. To maintain a steady food supply, farmers' incomes must be somewhat stable, or many farms would go out of business during difficult economic times.
Roughly every five years, Congress reauthorizes the Farm Bill, which governs federal farm and food policy. The Agricultural Act of 2014, or the Farm Bill, was passed by the Senate on February 4, 2014 with a vote of 68-32. President Obama signed the bill into law on February 7, 2014.
The 2014 Farm Bill eliminates direct payments, ends farm payments to millionaires and makes other reforms to agricultural subsidies. I understand that while some people strongly support farm subsidies, other people strongly oppose them. As I continue to work on agricultural issues, I will continue to keep both views in mind.
As always, I appreciate your views, thoughts and concerns as they assist me in understanding what is important to the people of Pennsylvania. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.
For more information on this or other issues, I encourage you to visit my website, http://casey.senate.gov. I hope you will find this online office a comprehensive resource to stay up-to-date on my work in Washington, request assistance from my office, or share with me your thoughts on issues that matter most to you and to Pennsylvania.

9 Reasons Pennsylvania Rocks The Capitol
Senator Toomey took it upon himself to identify important Pennsylvanians except that someone noted that there wasn't one woman.
Just goes to show you how a typical conservative WASP thinks.
Just goes to show you how a typical conservative WASP thinks.
The real reason Ukraine is important.
The US wants to export our natural gas to them. Which as I understand it is currently illegal since the energy crisis of the 70's to export any unrefined fossil fuels. Of course this would have the effect of dramatic increases in prices for all this fracking that's currently being burnt off in flares because they don't even have the pipelines to service the oil let alone the cheaper gas. But this could alter the equation.
Below is the letter from Senator Toomey:
March 21, 2014
Dear Mr. Clay,
Thank you for contacting me about the political situation in Ukraine. I appreciate hearing from you.
Like you, I am very concerned about the situation in Ukraine and value your input. I believe that the U.S. should strongly oppose Russian efforts to undermine the freedom and sovereignty of Ukraine. I am strongly in favor of freezing assets of senior Russian officials and imposing sanctions against this country.
Further, as we consider a response to Russia's actions, we should be mindful that this nation derives much of its wealth from gas exports to nations, such as Ukraine, that have no other options than importing energy from Russia. As such, to the extent that we can aggressively advance the development and export of our gas resources around the world, we can undermine Russia's economic and geopolitical clout, not to mention boost economic growth and job creation here at home.
Accordingly, I support easing restrictions on exporting natural gas, both as a means of countering an expansionist Russia in Eastern Europe and as sound domestic economic policy, independent of the situation in Ukraine.
While we may not always agree on this issue, I value your input and I will be certain to keep your views in mind. Thank you again for your correspondence.
Sincerely,
Signature

Dear Mr. Clay,
Thank you for contacting me about the President's Climate Action Plan. I appreciate hearing from you.
Like you, I believe that it is essential to protect Pennsylvania's natural beauty and the quality of our environment. I am generally supportive of existing laws that protect our air and environment and I believe that individual state agencies have the best knowledge and tools at their disposal to appropriately safeguard the public health and economic wellbeing of Pennsylvania and other states. I also believe we can all agree that it is important for coal fired power plants to follow guidelines that protect public health and the environment.
That said, like many Americans, I am concerned about some of the regulation coming out of Washington that harms job creators and the pocketbooks of hard-working Pennsylvanians. Under this administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been especially aggressive in proposing new rules that will raise energy prices, threaten jobs, and undermine our economy. In fact, new regulations are estimated to have contributed to the closure of over 200 coal power plants as well as the loss of more than 13,000 jobs. The President's latest proposals will only serve to continue this trend and I believe that Congress must seriously question the costs and benefits of federal policies that undermine good paying jobs in our state.
Since coming to Congress, I have worked to ensure that EPA regulations are applied in a reasonable manner and do not hinder economic growth. Please be assured that I value your input as I continue fighting for common sense policies that will protect middle class jobs in Pennsylvania.
Thank you again for your correspondence, please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,

75% of Americans tip less than 20% in most restaurants. Some 11% tip nothing, 35% tip less than 10%, and 29% tip between 10% and 19%. Only 23% tip 20% or more.
While I usually do tip around 20% I was always taught that 15% was customary. Of course with pressure on the oligarchs to share their money it makes sense to create propaganda that encourage the poor people to part with their hard earned money to make up that difference instead of paying better wages.
You may find yourself extremely surprised at what and who you're suppose to tip according to this little ditty.

My guess is once everything is digitized than spying becomes even easier. Why does there have to be something wrong with copper analog networks? They work fine so what advantage is there to change the system? Digitizing only increases the amount of data that must flow over the network and what about availability during power outages? Or as some have said is this a backdoor to deregulation of common carrier status?
