Climate Change and the Environmental Budget.

Now Trump Is not the first President to cut the environmental budget. Yet, his reasoning for cutting a budget that only count for 0.02 percent of the national budget seems to be an attack on the Clean air act and imprisonment of modernization with trying to overshadow cleaner energies and push the dying coal industries back to the forefront.
The dismantling of the Clean Air Act and the Paris Agreement  by the Trump Administration has taken the U.S. from being the world leader in climate change policies to ending future funding for climate scientific programs and lessened the standard for greenhouse emission that corporations release into the air. Also Trump said in a campaign interview with Bill O'Reilly that climate change was simply weather and it was a scam to get peoples money. Another thing he said was we were falling behind China because of the lesser emission standards, yet the country with most to gain from the U.S. stepping away from Climate Change is China who by 2020 will spend 360 billion in renewable energy. Now for many Americans in coal areas are excited for this new bill and feel Trump upheld his promise to voters by bring back coal jobs. However coal is a Dinosaur facing extinction even coal executives say they don't see any of the jobs coming back. With Trump's disregard for science exploration and climate change is not a punishment for the likes of you and me but for the generations of our blood that me may never meet but for our children's children we must make the environment and climate change a priority so future generations can enjoy the same beautiful landscapes we have today.

Hypocrisy in Politics: Giving Credit Thats Not Due.


            On March 10th 2017 Jay Caruso, a blogger on Red State posted a blog “StopCrediting Trump for Good Economic News Where He Had No Role”. Addressed to both Republicans and Democrats, who’s bias is shown weather for Trump or Obama by giving credit to either president for something they had no control over. Jay Caruso a font page contributor for multiple blogs Including Red State, Opportunity Lives and Watchdog.org. Caruso, argues that both parties have hypocrisy whether it’s the Democrats giving credit to Obama for good economic growth with no evidence or the Republicans giving Trump Credit for economic growth after being in office just for eleven days. Moreover, he even shows Trump himself doesn’t even put much faith in U.S. jobs report numbers, in a Bloomberg post Trump said U.S. jobs report “Are phony anyway”. Caruso also points out that cyclical economy, booming energy and technology did more for economic growth than Obama. But now the same Republicans that called out Obama for taking credit for good jobs reports are trying to give credit to Trump for economic growths that are out of his control. His final point, was that Trump and his supporters can’t have it both ways. They can’t say they “Inherited a mess” then take credit for February jobs report, when Trump was only in office for eleven days.
