bridge to nowhere

The bridge to nowhere is a bridge to an airport. Its famous because our governor was bragging about how she stopped it on national television and just like that they were back on the front page. The writer doesn't like that they call the place they live "nowhere" because it is actually a place and they are apart of it. Yes, I think that he is correct because he says theres a year round population of 14,000-making it the fourth largest community in the state. They also forgot to add the more than 250,000 people who pass through the airport every year, and nearly 1 million tourists who go there each summer.

I think that pescription drugs are good and bad for many reasons. They can only be prescribed to people who have the symptoms that ar listed for the medication, but that is usually adults or people who really have something wrong with them. The problem with that is that kids can get ahold of these drugs and its just another household item that can get them high. Kids start to abuse these drugs, and eventually overdose or get very sick. Also kids take so much of the medication and so often that their immune system starts to change and that makes them need more and more of the meds and they will go to any extent to get them because they have gotten addicted to it not because its the thing to do, but it makes them high and they dont have to pay for it. I think that you should have to go to the doctor to get any kind of medication because for one you can be allergic to it, and for another reason never take anything that you dont know what it is or what it does, that can really mess you up, kids see a pill lying around, they'll walk up to it, snatch it, and not even think twice, thats just how kids are these days. One very good example of this is medicinal marijuana, it is only prescribed to people who have problems that are above what pills can take care of. It can be used for medicinal purposes, but, it is very hard to get ahold of this.

Sincethe 1940's, America has suffered 10 recessions. They usually only last around 10 months, but we are about to go into another recessions, but joblessness would have to increase alot to match other highs. Herbert Hoover for example, expanded public works to try and get out of the slump. The Great Depression that came after the stock market crashed in October 1929 was a different challenge. By the low point in July 1932, stocks had dropped almost 90 percent from where they usually are. Some other things included:bankruptcies, foreclosures, bread lines—lasted a decade. Even in 1940, unemployment was almost 15 percent. Not like most recessions, the Depression submitted not to its self marketing mechanisms or government policies. Another example would be:from 1929 to 1933, two fifths of the nation's banks failed, depositor runs were epic, and the money supply declined by more than a third. Samuelson thinks that what we see now is a very big effort to prevent a repeating of this destructive chain reaction by which a disfunctional financial system compounds the economic downturn. In reality the treasurery is bailing out the Fed, which have already lent them money. The economy is going to get very worse.
