With every vote, filibuster, and action, the Republicans show they don't care about the future of man. Or women. Or children.Is it that they don't care, or is it that it is not the responsibility of Government to solve every crisis. People are acting on their own to reduce or mitigate their carbon emissions, using cars like the Prius and services like TerraPass.
Why do people expect the government to solve every problem for them. Why won't people take responsibility?

Because this problem is so large that it needs more than one, ten or ten thousand individuals to make an impact. That is what government is for, instead of waging wars across the globe that are of no benefit to the US and plenty of detriment to its troops and ability to defend the country in a real crisis.
You can hide your head in the sand all you want, but sooner or later most of the coasts around the world will be further inland than they used to be and the problem will require intervention that nobody will be able to provide.
And exactly what is wrong with supporting the troops and helping kids? Every child must be born so that it can suffer? How kind.
Actually, that is not what our government is for. According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted to search unalienable rights.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
Nothing is wrong with supporting the troops and helping kids, just that it is not the job of the government. Governments have a lot of problems with distributing money that the private sector does not. I would much rather give my money to charities (and do) to help kids than to the government to allow politicians to decide who should get the slice of the pie to help kids.
