Biden to Congress: 'Show courage' on gun control
Sensible gun controls measures are very broadly supported. Biden is right. Move us forward please.
Although Bloomberg’s group has concentrated on pushing background checks, Biden said the White House was committed to all elements of its gun control plan: the assault weapons ban, limits on high-capacity magazines, universal background checks and tougher laws against gun trafficking.
“I’m not going to rest, nor is the president, until we do all of these things,” Biden said. “All of these things.”
Yes.

Thomas L. Friedman: Carbon Tax Fixes Much; Resistance Recent, Dubious
Here
"I raise this now because it strikes me as crazy that one of the obvious solutions to our budget, energy and environmental problems — the one that would be the least painful and have the best long-term impact (a carbon tax) — is off the table. Meanwhile, the solution that is as dumb as the day is long — a budget sequester that slashes spending indiscriminately — is on the table."

And so this continues, on, and on. But we--and Iran's 'allies' Russia and China, really--must find the balls for tough enough sanctions.
We must DO THIS NOW. If some of the citizens of Iran have to suffer, stop voting for Ahmedinejad and sidestepping the UN.
