On Tuesday, energy shares declined - with BP plunging 15% - after the company's latest attempt to plug the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico failed and Attorney General Eric Holder said there would be a criminal investigation of the spill.

Issue #3 putting welfare to work
article summary-
everyone has there own opinion about welfare, weather or not people should be able to even get welfare just becaus most people believe that if they should have to work that everyone
else should have to. facts show that poverty has increased every year and continues to increase slowly, some years it increases more depending on how the economy does. there are currently more moms out there that cant afford to take care of their kids and there housing. recent poles have shown that child support has also increased. up to 43% of those living in poverty took income of up to or more than $18,000 dollars. child poverty in todays society has gone down compared to the way it was before the new laws were passed. there is much concern that most of the reason for our economy and people in poverty is outsourcing sending useful jobs else ware leaving people looking for work when none is found. as technology continues to advance hopefully more jobs will be sprung forth letting people go back to work.
In my opinion-
i dont agree with welfare i believe that everyone should have to work in our society unless there physically impaired and physically cant work not just because they cant get a job and take care of there responsibilties and there actions that have put them in the position that they are currently in. The welfare system was created to help americans that cant work survive in the new economy until people got lazy and took advantage of the system and now it is currently hurting more americans than it is helping.
