In a floor speech shortly before Wednesday's Senate vote, Sen. Bernie Sanders focused on the impact on Medicare. "It would end Medicare as we know it by giving senior citizens inadequate vouchers to buy health care," he said. "It is a disaster." That's not all. The kicker, Sanders added, was that the Republican plan would provide $1 trillion in additional tax breaks.

According to NHK: "A radiation monitor at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says workers there are exposed to immeasurable levels of radiation.
The monitor told NHK that no one can enter the plant's No. 1 through 3 reactor buildings because radiation levels are so high that monitoring devices have been rendered useless. He said even levels outside the buildings exceed 100 millisieverts in some places.
Call out / Request for Citizen's Radiation Monitor Data! due to the Japan's nuclear reactor melt downs. The federal, state, and local governments are slow in publishing any data, let alone real time data. Most all radiation monitors in the USA have been sold out with a 6 to 12 week back order time. How about putting all those newly purchased radiation monitors to use! Send in your data!!!
the governments of japan and the u.s. are maintaining a wall of silence about the greatest nuclear disaster in history.
they're 100-year plan to cap the damaged reactors and wait till later to handle the reactor cores ensures that millions of people will die from radiation poisoning. at least the nuclear power industry will be protected.
this is a global catastrophe of epic proportions. the core of at least one of the damaged reactors at the fukushima nuclear power facility has melted through its containment vessel. apparently, the only way to stop the reaction would be to hit the plant with a nuclear bomb.
japanese government officials have been busy recovering from a severe natural disaster, and there are areas in their country that still have not been visited by search and relief groups.
they've also been busy denying that japan is experiencing the greatest environmental disaster human beings have ever created. several nuclear reactors have gone offline, and an entire facility - fukushima - has suffered explosions in three of its six reactors, and partial meltdowns in at least three, one of which hasn't yet blown up. so far, this incident is listed as a category 6 nuclear incident by the international atomic energy agency. to put that into perspective, the three mile island incident in the u.s. was a category 5 incident, while the worst incident in the past - the explosion of a facility in the former soviet union, at chernobyl in the ukraine - was a category 6 incident. however, as the joke goes - this one (the fukushima incident) goes to 11!
All of the information media are at fault here I think. They are saying stupid things like, why, we are exposed to radiation all the time in our daily life, we get radiation from outer space. But that's one millisievert per year. A year has 365 days, a day has 24 hours; multiply 365 by 24, you get 8760. Multiply the 400 millisieverts by that, you get 3,500,000 the normal dose. You call that safe?
Hirose Takashi has written a whole shelf full of books, mostly on the nuclear power industry and the military-industrial complex. Probably his best known book is Nuclear Power Plants for Tokyo in which he took the logic of the nuke promoters to its logical conclusion: if you are so sure that they're safe, why not build them in the center of the city, instead of hundreds of miles away where you lose half the electricity in the wires?
Last night, the Vermont House of Representatives debated and approved by a 92-49 a bill that would create a single payer system in the state. Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) praised the move as making Vermont the first state where "health care will be a right and not a privilege".

New research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that another vitally important pollinator, the bumblebee, is in serious decline. According to the figures, there has been a shocking 96 percent decline in four major species of the bumblebee, and an up to 87 percent decrease in their overall geographic coverage.
"We provide incontrovertible evidence that multiple Bombus species have experienced sharp population declines at the national level," explained researchers in their report. And in a phone interview with Reuters, study author Sydney Cameron from the University of Illinois, Urbana, explained that these bumblebee species are "one of the most important pollinators of native plants."
