In the article “Houston’s Human Catastrophe Started Long Before the Storm” Stephenson focuses on how the state of Texas has a huge issue on their hands after Hurricane Harvey. Their infrastructure was flooded with nearly 50 inches of water and many people were left without homes, jobs, or even family.

ECON 312 – GDP vs GPI The massive government spending on Hurricane Katrina relief and recovery far outweighed the negative economic effects of the storm. Based solely on the Real GDP figures, we might conclude that the worst natural disaster in U.S. history was actually good for our economy.

Climate Scare Is all the hype about man made climate change going to destroy the human race. In The 11th Hour by Leonardo DiCaprio, we hear and see the perceived effects man-made climate change is having on our planet.

I argue that the President of our Country must use signing statements because every President has made one deal, two deals or another to guarantee a individual, personal interest group, political interest party and/or lobbyist for their vote and support to get into the White House.
