Ah, the good ol’ days. Remember when the national debt was a mere 413 trillion? Good times.
It is, of course, much higher than that now and the debt ceiling continues to go up. Here’s a great video and infographic explaining the debt ceiling and how it’s affecting the country courtesy of Bankrupting America.
In the first 3 quarters of 2011, the vast majority of Mitt Romney’s $32 million that he raised came from large donors according to a study by CreditSesame. Compare that to Obama (52%), Santorum (79%), Paul (52%), and Gingrich (57%), and it’s pretty easy to see where Romney’s allegiances would lie if he were nominated by the GOP and subsequently won the general election.
Percentages are one thing, but the consolidated Democratic focus on Obama gave him as much as all of the major candidates at that time combined. The Republican party is in trouble if this primary season goes on indefinitely as all of the 4 remaining GOP candidates have promised. Who will drop out first? How long will the GOP let Obama sit back and beat up on each other before he has to really spend any of his campaign money?

As Florida, one of America’s hubs for scientific exploration through NASA, goes to the polls today to decide on their choice for the GOP candidate, let’s take a look at how each party as well as Independents view science.
In this graphic by AssayDepot, we learn some things that most assume but there are surprises in there as well. For example, while Republicans have the strongest view of the positive effects of science on society, fewer are willing to consider the government’s investment into research as “essential.”

The last 3 years have seen some amazing things happen in the world of American politics. We have a Nobel-Prize-winning President who has made surprisingly few changes in the way that Washington DC runs. The world views us just as poorly (if not more so) than it did under the “hated” regime of George W. Bush. Our allies in Israel are skeptical of our position regarding their future and how it is intertwined with our own. Elsewhere in the Middle East, leaders are daring us to do something, anything, to try to stop their goals.
