With Congress paralyzed, Treasury is running on fumes | CNBC

Just think, many in congress seeks to lead the nation through the Office of the President yet are inept in their ability to lead themselves.

In USA Today Monday's op-end, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew expressed his dismay in an inept Congress and its inability to plan for the nations financial future.. 
"We are on track for further economic growth — yet with eight days, as of Monday, until Treasury runs out of borrowing authority on Nov. 3, some in Congress are endangering this progress by once again manufacturing a crisis for our country,"  "By waiting to the last minute to act on the debt limit, Congress could cause a terrible accident." - CNBC

Jedidah Isler: How I fell in love with quasars, blazars and our incredible universe | TED Talk | TED.com

Jedidah Isler first fell in love with the night sky as a little girl. Now she’s an astrophysicist who studies supermassive hyperactive black holes. In a charming talk, she takes us trillions of kilometers from Earth to introduce us to objects that can be 1 to 10 billion times the mass of the sun — and which shoot powerful jet streams of particles in our direction

Nearly Half of Americans Give Their Police Department Failing Grades - The Root

The study was conducted by drugabuse.com but clearly the following and many similar incidences of cops terrorizing citizens are not drug related:
  • Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy for playing 
  • Cops killed man at Walmart "John Crawford III", then interrogated girlfriend
  •  Eric Garner Chocked to death for saying yes master, beat me more
  •  Jermaine McBean, shot as he walked home with an unloaded air rifle
  •  Mansur Ball-Bey, shot in the back by Police
  •  Lavall Hall, Mentally Ill, no rungs involved
The list goes on and on for 2015, 2014, 2013.......

The report below shows a clear correlation of sentiments between the public and police especially for  citizen in Republican controlled territories across the nation. Most are economically distressed and Republican controlled. An overwhelmingly majority of Citizens who see no hope for the future are substance abusers and the vast majority live in Republican controlled states and municipalities.

"...there is a truism in advertising, “The best way to kill a bad product is to advertise it.” Shall we start by fixing what is broken with the product before any global announcement? Our airports and airlines, traffic, roads and Ro-Ros, hygiene and sanitation, safety and security, peace and order, crime and violence, hunger and poverty and, yes, even toilets and toilet paper. Then word will spread spontaneously with or without a multimillion-dollar tourism advertising campaign.

NYPD on trial: NBA player Thabo Sefolosha fights back after Yet Another Police Attack

Yet again we have Racist acting under the Color Law targeting, attacking and brutality beating a person of color.

It's time for People of Color to Unite, especially Blacks, Arm themselves in Defense of life and Shout not only No, but Hell No, We're not taking it anymore. Its time to stand-up and say, although the signs "No Dogs, Negros or Mexicans..." have been removed, the actions and sentiments of the time still remain.

Martin Luther's dream cannot be fully realized and Malcolm words hold true, while blacks are expected to remain silent while Treated Like Animals, Terrorized, Beating and Murdered under the Color of Law.

When will the truth be told? The Black presence in America before Columbus | San Francisco Bay View

Prior to falling from grace through complacency of success and succumbing to the riches of greatness, People of African decent traveled the globe leaving reminisce of offs-springs and monuments. Africans traveled the four corners of the globe establishing nations across all the great continents.
"The Olmec civilization, the first significant civilization in Mesoamerica, is best known for the colossal carved heads in Central Mexico, clearly crafted in the likeness of Africans, that serve as evidence that Africans sailed to the New World before Columbus. The same civilization that created these giant heads was also responsible for introducing written language, arts, sophisticated astronomy and mathematics to Mesoamerican civilization, ancient African historian Professor Van Sertima explains. Other evidence of African presence in and trade with the Americas before Columbus is the discovery of South American cocaine in Egyptian mummies and North American cotton in West Africa."  | San Francisco Bay View

Warren Buffett addresses income inequality | Reuters.com

Afro America, Warren Buffet being a man of financial knowledge clearly understands people working together aka Government is the key to improving income inequality.
"Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that, with the U.S. economy as strong as it is, people should not be living in poverty. | Reuters.com
AfrocatioN sees minimum wages increases as a band-aid solution. Minimum cannot solve the core issue of too many low skilled and low educated workers chasing to few minimum wage Jobs.

Americans has historically allowed the divisive Propaganda to suppress a large percentage of the nations growth in which many work against their own interest . As it stands only 1/4 of the 50 states generates the total operating revenue needed to run the nation and pay its debts. The remaining 2/3 are debtors aka welfare states who are largely Republican controlled and by any measure would file bankruptcy if not for the federal sugar daddy..

Its time for all Americans to live up to the nations name, The United States of America not the Divided Confederate States of America. Its time for the people to stand against divisive special interest and for policies that reverse the selfish race to the bottom. Embrace polices that place our children's future first and selfish baby boomers last. It's time to promote a mandatory national Education and Training program in-which all students are required to acquire technical skills by graduation from High School. The nation cannot achieve excellence without the Knowledge, Skill and Ability to succeed.
