NASA begins testing Discovery's fuel tank

NASA crews began a test of space shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank Friday .
"Eight technicians will use scanners, cameras and high-powered lenses to survey the outside of the tank for foam cracks, ice buildup or other abnormalities," a NASA statement said.
The test at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida will give engineers key data to decide when the shuttle can take off, NASA said.

i think they should do the best they can.

#3 Health care- Safe to Eat

Americans are consuming greater amounts of fresh produce in an attempt to eat more healthfully. One of the problems is though is the food isn't sanatary, ans somtimes there deseises in the food. Becuase the food is mass produced at one place the E. coli outbreak in 2006 was a major problem and killed over 200 people. Becase E. coli is in freash produced many people got it beacuse produce is often ate raw.

In this case public health insurance could have been a benifit to those people that died maybe they would have went into the doctor sooner and could have been helped. Obama and the decocrates would agree that public health insurance would have been a benifit for those people sick without health insurance. they agree becuase they made it a law.

federal budget blog issue 2

Basicaly the US spends more money than than it takes in each year. This is called a deficit. This is a mojor problem becuase the US has had a deficit for the past 40years. That leads to a huge national debt, the sum collection of all the deficits.

Thats means to stop adding money to the debt we need to pay as we go. Only spend what we take in. If nothing else we may need to add more ear marks taxs, like road tax, etc. We also may need to change our social security plan to indivisual plans. so we dont give money to those illagal imigrants that never paid a peney to the US goverment.
