1. NIMBY!

2. I don't think the Republicans are Reckless..

I think they are cold, hard and calculating, and don't give a damn about anyone but themselves and the corporations. If a homeless vet was dying and laying in the street, the first person to step on him would be a Rich Republican without remorse.

3. It's mostly been silence for the News in Pittsburgh. A local state health insurance got cut too.

Fifty thousand people lost health insurance and the program had 300,000 on the waiting list. The gave it one sentence in passing.
