The gay marriage attention did draw from the passing of the fast track for the TPP. But, nobody seems to give a crap about jobs or the economy, despite it being their key concern when voting for the next president to screw them on both.

Pray for a catastrophic bridge collapse so the politicians fall on themselves to pass an infrastructure package.

You've got roughly the same chance as making it rain!

The EPA ruling is a temporary setback at best, the Court reaffirmed the EPA's right to regulate mercury, and considering the order was issued 3 years ago and many factories have already complied or begun to comply, I don't even know why the Court heard the case. All the EPA has to do is re-issue the exact same rule.

Two countries about to go bankrupt, Greece and Puerto Rico, manufacturing industry in recession, Turkey fighting Kurds in Syria while $500 million spent training less than 100 'moderate rebels', TPP - allowing corporation to bypass any nation's law and sue any government, there's a few more things I've temporary forgotten, but nope let's talk about gay marriage.

The people deserve what they get for not paying any attention and doing nothing.

Forget putting fluoride in the water, they need to put ADD drugs in the water. At least it's better than mercury.

Highway Trust expires in just over 30 days, Congress has passed a short term extension 33 times already, but it looks like the Democrats are actually going to make the GOP come up with a long term plan. But you know McConnell is going to take us right up the edge of the cliff anyways.

Yeah, they only have to consider the cost before making a new regulation. So, new regulations proposed to limit the amount of poison in the air have to consider the crippling expense, then disregard it because millions of people's health will always come before profits of energy companies, period.

Are homosexual couples somehow "not qualified" to be parents? If so, what would make them unilaterally unqualified?

I'll take the bait. Maybe the church believes that homosexual couples aren't the preferred suit to parenthood.

Why are they not allowed to think that and practice business according to their beliefs?

Because Child Services, who is in charge of finding homes for children, doesn't have to conform to the Church's desires. They make the rules, and if the Church doesn't like said rules, they can choose not to participate. But they do not have any authority to change those rules nor should they.

No, I'd rather maintain the integrity of the first amendment. For someone who waxes on so much about the constitution, you sure do overlook a lot of it.

Greece has an economy ?
The used to until massive debt killed it.

Think of it this way, say you have $100,000 in credit card debt and lose your only source of income, a part time job at walmart for $8/hr. Why bother trying to repay that debt, since even when you were working it was never gonna happen.

PR at least said, hey we can sell our bodies and smoke pot for a little while longer, lol.

The bright side is the Cooper agreement expired 2 a few years ago, so whenever Greece gets their ***together, there's lots of untapped natural resources to exploit.

IDK what PR is going to do though. Bailouts?

Eh, Greece has made a lot, a lot of bad financial decisions that cover decades.

Even getting their natural resources back under their control doesn't change other items they have contracted out.

Greece, for example, traded away the rights to airport fees and lottery proceeds in years to come. written in 2010

Greece to proceed with privatizations of port airports April 2015
