I don’t know about you but I think there should be more than two major political parties. Politics in the U.S. seems to a zoo when the candidates spar with each other during their individual election campaigns. The candidates should more focused on what they (not the other candidate) will do if elected. I’m really sad that the focus of politics is on “cutting down the opponent” instead of “building up” the nation and the good of the people. I think our country would be better off if there were more than two major political parties.

Number 1: Tie the economic recovery and the oil/gas crisis together. Announce a major X billion dollar program to fix the economy and get energy independence all in one, long term plan.

Number 3: Nationalize all the off shore drilling past the 10 or 20 mile limit. In other words, once you are 10 miles off shore, the states have no jurisdiction. All environment suits must be filed in one federal court. State courts will not have the right to hold up drilling permits any longer.

According to Webster dictionary, as an adjective, conservative means tending to preserve established institutions, opposed to change, moderate or cautious. When used as a noun, it describes a conservative person. Webster’s thesaurus variously offers nuances on the word, such as traditional, reactionary, conventional, taking no chances, fearful, unimaginative and in a rut!

In the past three years I’ve read a blog regarding on political blogs and I feel like they have really enhanced my understanding of current events. We live in such a conservative society that much of the real news of what is going on is censored by the mainstream media. Unfortunately, political blogs don’t have the budget to do some of the things that the more mainstream news outlets do. They cannot have correspondents all over the world, for example, ready to report any event that happens. News analysis is a valuable service, and one that is completely neglected by the mainstream media. Thanks to political blogs, we can get beyond the the facile analysis provided by most of the news pundit shows.

In this hot political season, more insight and commentary about conservative politics can be found at our website. Please stop by and voice your opinion.

Government grants are funds provided by the government to help its citizens financially. There are many types of government grants such as financial aids that help deserving students get a college education. Another type of government grant is the one that is given for scientific research. Some scientific researches are funded by the government as long as the outcome of the research will be to the country.

None of these Government Grants require a credit check, collateral, security deposits or co-signers, you can apply even if you have a bankruptcy or bad credit, it doesn’t matter. There are many different government grants available, from a great many different sources, and these government grants can be a godsend for anyone trying to start a new business, put themselves or their children through school or even buy a first home.

The United States is not a Democracy? What an outrageous claim to make! Or so it would seem…

In fact, the United States of America is actually a Republic. The other terms bandied about amongst political scientists are “Representative Democracy” and “Constitutional Republic”. And this isn’t just a dictionary-zealot splitting hairs here; there are very important distinctions between a pure Democracy and what we have in the USA. And confusing the issue can actually lead to gross mistakes.

Iowa recently passed HF 892 which creates the Film Promotion Program & Tax Credits.  Iowa is known for two films, State Fair, and Bridges of Madison County.  With the creation of this Iowa Film Tax Credit program, the state is aggressively positioning itself as a film location for the shooting of television and movies.

The program provides for the issuance of tax credit certificates that are issued to investors in a movie or television production and the producer of a movie or television production for qualified expenditures made during filming within the state.

These tax credits are transferable which allows them to be bought and sold.  This creates a financing mechanism that helps attract producers to the state while selling the tax credits and utilizing the proceeds to help fund the production of their film.

Do you need some cash and need it now? Hey, welcome to the club. I think it’s safe to assume that most adults in the United States are in need of additional funds. Is this because we typically have horrible and depressing incomes? No! It has more to do with our past and current spending habits.

We all know that many U.S. homeowners with sub-prime mortgages have gone into foreclosure or are at serious risk of going into foreclosure.  This crisis is so widespread that many lenders, including one of the largest mortgage lenders: Countrywide Financial, have taken a serious financial hit due to their sub-prime mortgage loans.  Some private banks have come to the rescue, like Bank of America’s assistance to Countrywide but the U.S. Government has also stepped in to pressure many sub-prime lenders to restructure their adjustable rate loans to sub-prime lenders.

Many are blaming the lenders for making inappropriate loans to sub-prime lenders that allowed them to receive an adjustable rate mortgage with little or no down payment. These borrowers could afford to make payments on the 100% loan-to-value ARMs with the low interest rates that were available at the time but after just a moderate increase in interest rates, these borrowers have seen their monthly payments increase significantly.  While the lenders should be held responsible for the financial impact to their company of making loans that were sure to have interest rate increases and higher monthly payments to borrowers who could barely afford the loan at the initial interest rates, the borrowers should also be responsible for accepting a loan they surely wouldn’t be able to afford in the near future.

This sub-prime mortgage crisis is also driving up housing rental prices across the country as many sub-prime lenders who probably should have been renting in the first place have lost their homes and the demand for rental housing has increased.  Investment/Rental property owners are enjoying the market price increases due to this activity as many owners are receiving many more inquiries from their condo and home rental advertising.

The U.S. Government is bailing out many of these borrowers for poor financial decisions and eliminating the personal consequences for these borrowers.  While the impact of this activity to the U.S. economy is undeniable, it is inappropriate for the Federal Government to be bailing out individual borrowers who made poor personal financial decisions.  These borrowers should not be able to keep a home that they cannot afford to pay for at current interest rates just because their defaults will have a negative impact on the economy.  The lenders and borrowers made bad decisions that will affect us all, but we must endure that consequence as a byproduct of our free market economy.

Anaerobic Digestion is a cinderella among waste treatment technologies, and yet it provides a unique method by which the fuel methane is produced. Methane is natural gas. It is hardly necessary to point out that natural gas is an incredibly useful green fuel with the advantages that it can be:-

• made from waste, waste slurries etc (energy that is freely available and would othewise be wasted);
• burnt easily to create electricity plus heat which can be used for example to heat a greenhouse;
• converted to hydrogen which is a clean fuel and can be used in an hydrogen fuel cell;
• is a fuel unaffected by oil price and thus provides price stability;
• converted to a biofuel for cars such as bioethanol.

However, the technology needs further development before it can show its full potential.  Governments can and should assist do so visit this Anaerobic Digestion site here to learn more and help to get this technology into the mainstream.

Many policy and decisions makers, and some of the country’s most influential people, got their start by studying political science. If you plan to major in poli sci in college you better hit the campaign trail early if you’re interested in receiving political science scholarships. Most colleges offer political science scholarships through their political science departments. These grants, fellowships and awards are often given in honor of alumni or local community leaders. The big political science scholarship bucks, however, lie with national organizations, many of which fall into the public policy center/institute/endowment arena. This is a double edged sword. On one hand, there are lots of institutes with lots of scholarship dollars to pass out. On the other, most of the scholarships pull applicants from across the nation so there is plenty of competition. For more information about political science scholarship.

Oh brother, the tax season will be here before you know it. This is that time of the year when people either get psyched about their income tax return, or get annoyed at the fact that they pay so much in taxes. One thing that’s crucial to remember is income tax deductions. Don’t forget about this when you’re forking out a third of your paycheck to the federal government and state. You’ll want to examine and cash in on as many deductions as possible. This is a concept I didn’t learn about for quite some time. Now I’m glad I know.

The other day, a rather peculiar incident occurred. I got an income tax refund from the IRS. Normally, I am only used to paying the IRS through my nose. Each year I struggle to make ends meet by working odd jobs. Rarely, when I find a job that employs me for more than a couple of months, I find that any savings I ever make are often ploughed back into the system by the prospect of income tax. Like the adage goes, no one can avoid death and taxes. Imagine my joy nay ecstasy when I actually managed to get an income tax refund. I was thrilled to bits to say the least.
