Appearing on “The View” Tuesday, Dr. Ben Carson explained why he believes the current welfare system in the United States is not doing the poor any favors.
Dr. Ben Carson believes that the current welfare system in the United States is not doing the poor any favors and he is supports his argument at various platforms. On Tuesday, he appears on “The View” and explained the reasons of his believe.
Dr. Ben Carson: “When you rob someone of their incentive to go out there and improve themselves, you are not doing them any favors”
“When you take somebody and pat them on the head and say, ‘There there, you poor little thing… Let me give you housing subsidies, let me give you free health care because you can’t do that.’”
“What would be much more empowering is to use our intellect and our resources to give those people a way up and out,” he concluded.
His perceptive response actually moved actor Terry Crews to join the audience in giving a round of applause.
Crews responded: “I agree,” and clapping along with the audience.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg exposed that once she was a “welfare mother” and argued that very few people actually want to be on welfare and would rather work.
Whoopi Goldberg: “I don’t feel bad about being a welfare mother because I contribute as an American. Because the welfare system is so bizarre, you can’t work, they don’t allow you to work because they take the money from you. So if we fix the system so that it doesn’t hurt the people, maybe they’ll get better.”
It’s been a year and a half to Super storm Sandy and the affected areas are still rebuilding. On the Jersey Shore, which is also reconstructing, the Memorial Day weekend thrills the peak tourism season.
Business owners rushed to reopen in last summers and they succeeded. But homeowners wriggled to repair and rent their properties.
In July, Long Beach Township Mayor Joe Mancini said, “He thought the weekly rental market in his area of the shore was down about 30 percent. Many tourists were confused about the level of damage at each area along the shore. You know, every time they showed that roller coaster in the water off of Seaside, they thought that was the entire Jersey coast, but it’s not.”
News was not that bad, the majority of countries affected by the Sandy, saw modest gains in the amount tourists spent last year and the main credit goes to the recovery effects, said by the professor of hospitality and tourism management at Richard Stockton College in Atlantic County, Mr. Brian Tyrrell.
Tyrrell said, “We actually saw some increase last year, particularly early in the year. He further continued, “We’re fully expecting that it’s going to be a real banner year this year for the Jersey Shore, I think that there’s a lot of communities are really ready and well prepared to see visitors coming back.”
Realtor Matt Schlosser local entrepreneur says, “Things are looking up after Sandy cut his business in half last summer, mainly because so many people hadn’t finished fixing their houses yet. I don’t think we’ll be on track for 2012 numbers. The demand is there, but if we have 20 percent less homes, we can’t do those types of numbers”.
The real estate agent with Prudential Zack Shore Properties, Ms. Elaine Atlee says, “Rentals on Long Beach Island last summer started slow, but eventually picked up.” So she is very much expectant about this season.
Atlee says, “Overall, driving around, it really doesn’t look like there was a storm anymore. Everything looks good, in order.” She continued, “There’s a handful that will be ready for next summer, so the inventory will increase again next year.”
The houses are now newer, bigger and more expensive, which helps the house owners to make up some of the lost revenue and every week, more homes are available to rent as people finish repair work.
Some people are renting out their homes for the first time, because of the storm including Atlee. When construction on her new house is done, renters will move in before she does. She’s already fully booked for August.
The summers not just accompanied by pool side parties, sun bath and fun but pests and parasites that can have a hazardous effect on your health.
The warmer the season the more the insects inside the home and outside. These tiny creatures are not just creepy but extremely dangerous. Specially be aware of mosquitoes and ticks.
West Nile – the mosquito-borne disease Virus remains a threat in Colorado, with 322 total cases reported in 2013. While only 90 of these cases were considered neuroinvasive Virus, seven deaths also were related to the virus.
West Nile first was testified in the United States in 1999, Moffat County has been largely unaffected, with few cases overall, the first of which was not discovered until 2003. Data collected at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment revealed the majority of cases impacted the Front Range, including Larimer, Broomfield, Weld, Adams, Boulder, Arapahoe and Denver counties.
Jan Stapleton the deputy director of communications for CDPHE stated that, “Part of this is because of greater population in these areas” She further said that, “The smaller occurrence of West Nile in Northwest Colorado does not mean the region is any more protected from the disease, for humans or animals. West Nile has not gone away, it’s still a risk for everyone throughout Colorado”.
The disease considered rare, but if bitten by a mosquito, a person experiencing high fever, severe headache and stiff neck should seek advice from a health care professional otherwise serious trouble could expected.
A “Four D’s” model of precautions is given below. If these precaution would take the chance of the diseases could be minimized.
Dress in that covers your entire body, wear long sleeves and pants where mosquitoes are active, dawn and dusk.
Drain standing water around your place because mosquitoes usually lay their eggs in stagnant water. Also inside your house drain the water from pots, tubs etc.
Dusk and dawn – when mosquitoes that carry the virus are most active, so limit outdoor activities or take precautions to prevent mosquito bites.
DEET is an effective ingredient to look for in insect repellents. Follow the instructions on label of it.
According to the study of Colorado State University Extension, the blood-sucking parasites often are encountered in “brushy areas along the edges of fields and woodlands or commonly traveled paths through grassy areas and shrub lands,” meaning frequent tick checks for campers are sensible.
Recent report by Millward Brown showed that Google has already overtaken the world’s most valuable brand Apple in the top 100 most valuable global ranking of the year 2014 with a total worth of $158.8 billion, which is considered as 40% increment than last year.

With a decline rate of 20%, the most famous brand, Apple slipped to 2nd spot, with $148 billion. Although, it is still a top performing brand, there is a perception of growing that they are not redefining any new technology for their consumers, reflected by a lack of dramatic launches of new product. In the race of the world’s leading B2B brand, IBM maintained their position to 3rd spot with a brand worth of $108 billion.
Google is being more and more innovative every day, last year with the successive launch of Google glass and investments in artificial intelligence and partnerships with several other brands to embed the Android Operating System in other goods such as cars etc. All these types of activities shows us a great signal as to what Google is trying to obtain, is it a co-incidence or a good luck or a pre-planned capture of the market by big G?
On Thursday, after long political gridlock, protests and deadly fierceness, Thailand’s military scrapped the constitution and seized power in a coup. In eight years, this was the second coup of Thailand and since 1932 it’s the 12th.
Majority Thailand has been calm, with little if any military presence seen on the streets of the capital. Troops discrete demonstrators on Friday evening, detaining at least two people.
On Saturday, the demonstrators vowed to march to a nearby army base, but soldiers with riot shields prevented them. They later began walking to Victory Monument, a major city landmark about 9 kilometers away. Rows of soldiers and police were lined up on a road near the monument to stop the protesters.
Life in Bangkok was normal despite of a curfew that last for 7hours. TV and inflammatory postings on Social media were also restricted.
Several nations have condemned the coup. The United States, Thailand’s key ally, suspended $3.5 million in military aid on Friday, and State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Washington was reviewing a further $7 million in direct U.S. assistance. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said “Country looked to Thai authorities to set out a quick clear timetable for elections to help re-establish the democratic framework of governance”.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay advised Thailand to “ensure respect for human rights and a prompt restoration of the rule of law in the country.”
Street protests started in November against then-Prime Minister Yingluck, and she dissolved the lower house of Parliament in a failed bid to ease the crisis. A court ousted her for nepotism this month but left the ruling party in place. Anti-government protesters wanted to install an unelected prime minister to make unspecified reforms they said would root out corruption and remove the Shinawatra family’s extensive influence from politics.
In first declaring martial law on Tuesday, the army said it needed to restore order. Last week, grenades fired at an anti-government protest site in Bangkok left three people dead and more than 20 injured. At least 28 people have died in protest-related violence since November.
Prayuth assumed the role of mediator by summoning key political rivals for their first face-to-face talks since the political turmoil escalated six months ago. Meetings on Wednesday and Thursday among bitter enemies failed to break the deadlock before Prayuth announced the coup.
On Friday U.S. health regulators approved Qiagen NV’s gene-testing kit to identify those colorectal cancer patients most likely to benefit from Amgen Inc’s drug, Vectibix.
Not only this the Food and Drug Administration also expanded the approval of Vectibix to allow its use as an initial, treatment for colon cancer in combination with the widely used FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen.
This approval is third U.S. approval for a Qiagen companion diagnostic for use in blend with a specific drug.
Gene-testing and extension approval, could floor the way for increased use of Vectibix, which has been largely a dissatisfaction for Amgen.
It means the drug can be used earlier in the disease and would be accompanied by diagnostic to help doctors locate patients that would best respond to the medicine.
Last year 33% of total sales were from the U.S only. Amgen had $126 M sales from U.S market and in the same year the total sales was $389 M.
QIAGEN N.V. is a Netherlands-based holding company, is the leading global provider of Sample & Assay Technologies that are used to transform biological materials into valuable molecular information. Sample technologies are used to isolate and process DNA, RNA and proteins from biological samples such as blood or tissue.
