Why do too many leaders, and individuals, deny the overwhelming research, all of the scientists who are dedicated to the study of our climate, and the impact of various elements, the largest of which is the human factor? Just as the cigarette corporations, of the 40's, 50's, & 60's, they knew the damage of their product decades before the general population did and those corporations went about to test market their products, and the doubt about the use of their products!

BE AFRAID......BE VERY, VERY AFRAID!

Fear is emotional and not always logical.

The current effort to close our United States boarders to all Muslims, to all Syrians, just as,  before the  election in 2014,  they tried to use fear to attack President Obama administration’s efforts with Ebola. 

They were predicting massive disease. They wanted to close our boarders to all Africans, even eliminating any air travel to Africa!  The current price of gas, fuel oil, and propane, dramatically, points to the fallacy of the major Republican predictions related to a 2nd term for President Obama. Republican’s predicted, and would have been gleeful if they were correct, that:

1.            Gas prices would shoot through the ceiling to $5.45 per gallon by this time and then to       $6.60 by the end of his 2nd term. Oops!

2.            Unemployment will bottom out at 8% and then climb. Oops!

3.            The Stock Market will have collapsed by this time. Oops!

4.            The entire U.S. economy will collapse by end of President Obama’s term. Oops!

5.            American’s won’t enroll in the AHA, the Affordable Healthcare. Oops!

6.            Health care insurers won’t participate in the AHA. Oops!

7.            The AHC won’t reduce the % of uninsured in America. Oops!

8.            Ebola policies were going to cause massive disease throughout the United States. Oops!

These are the actual quotes, the actual predictions of Republicans about Obamacare, The Affordable Healthcare Act. Every one of their predictions did not come to pass even though they have done everything in their power to make their predictions come true!

This is how selling fear can work! Be afraid....be very, very afraid!

THIS SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER – ACTUALLY IT IS A “KNOW” BRAINER!

Why do some U.S. citizens, particularly those in the middle class, continue to vote against what has been proven, time and again, to be against their own best interest? It is usually do to a very successful campaign of fear by the Republican Party, and their super PACs, dark money, lobbyists, and PACs.

1.       Under Democrats, the economy grew, on average, 4.35 percent per year; under Republicans, only 2.54 percent.

2.      Over the whole period, the economy was in recession for 49 quarters; Democrats held the White House during only eight of those quarters.

3.      Private-sector employment is eight million people higher than it was when Barack Obama took office, twice the job gains achieved under his predecessor.

4.      Every candidate with a real chance of getting the G.O.P. nomination is claiming that his tax plan would produce a huge growth surge — a claim that has no basis in historical experience.

5.      Historically, the economy has almost always done better under Democrats, compared to the G.O.P.

6.      Personal disposable income has grown nearly 6 times more under Democratic presidents

7.      Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown 7 times more under Democratic presidents

8.      Corporate profits have grown over 16% more per year under Democratic presidents (they actually declined under Republicans by an average of 4.53%/year)

9.      Average annual compound return on the stock market has been 18 times greater under Democratic presidents (If you invested $100k for 40 years of Republican administrations you had $126k at the end, if you invested $100k for 40 years of Democrat administrations you had $3.9M at the end)

10.   Republican presidents added 2.5 times more to the national debt than Democratic presidents

11.   The two times the economy steered into the ditch (Great Depression and Great Recession) were during Republican, laissez faire administrations
