The Harper government missed the chance to make meaningful cuts
Seriously: Out of a $276-billion budget, the Conservatives found only $5 billion in cuts? And only over three years?
That’s like someone who weighs 276 pounds saying they’re going to lose five pounds. Over three years.
Except even that’s not true. Because three years from now, the government’s own budget document says it’s going to be spending
$297 billion.
That’s not cutting. That’s expanding. That’s not leaner. That’s 7.4% fatter.

But Aliyah’s story received very little coverage, despite the event being more recent than the Martin tragedy, and despite the fact that it happened in President Barack Obama’s very own Chicago on a weekend when 49 people were shot and 10 others were killed.
No mention of Aliyah from the president. No public outpouring for a young mother who sat untangling her daughter’s hair as shots rang out. Nothing. And yet…
“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
Why? Why would the president weigh in on this specific case at this specific time?
It’s not about wrong or right. It’s not about justice. It’s not about Trayvon Martin.
“The despair is there; now it’s up to us to go in and rub raw the sores of discontent, galvanize them for radical social change.”- Saul Alinsky
An interesting quote to consider, from the man who shaped the minds of those who shaped President Obama.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
Big Journalism;NBC News is said to have launched an internal investigation into why it posted an edited version of George Zimmerman's call to a 911 dispatcher made prior to a shooting incident resulting in the death of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin. The altered version made it appear as though Martin's race was an important factor that night for Zimmerman, when, in fact, he was only answering a question posed by a 911 dispatcher.
