Equal Pay and Work-Family Policies Are Critical For Middle Class Economic Security
...............................................................................................................................................
Posted by Terrell McSweeny on July 20, 2010 at 4:06 PM EDT
 
 
Within the first ten days of his new administration, President Obama took two major steps for working women and their families:  he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and created the Middle Class Task Force.   The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act reversed a harmful decision by the Supreme Court that had made it even difficult for women to bring pay discrimination cases.

      Old archival footage of Ford's 1941 hemp car. I got a recent brochure from Ford and in

      the eco-friendly section it says they are using hemp again. Didn't say which models or
       
      what exact parts would be hemp but hey, there's hope yet.

      Fuel of the Future

      When Henry Ford told a New York Times reporter that ethyl alcohol was "the fuel of

      the future" in 1925, he was expressing an opinion that was widely shared in the
       
      automotive industry.
       
       
       
      "The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or
       
      from apples, weeds, sawdust -- almost anything," he said.
       
       
       
      "There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented. There's enough
       
      alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to
       
      cultivate the fields for a hundred years."
