I saw in the Nineties that we were increasing police power with get tough policies and 3 strikes laws, but without additional oversights.

The time has come for a public-private community partnership to fix this country and put it back to work.

Donald Trump's promised the moon. Now he has power. He's going to fail to deliver. He's not going to be able to bring a bunch of coal jobs back and a bunch of factory jobs back in this global economy. Period. Because you can't. It's not going to happen.

We need a more diversified portfolio of change-making tools so that we don't just get so freaked out by whatever's happening in the political corner.

Apparently, the fossil-fuel industry's strategy is to convince the American people that we should just burn all the way through the last of our oil and coal reserves.

To make sure we aren't training people for jobs that don't exist, the government should provide companies with loans or loan guarantees. And the government should also directly employ people to do things like coastal restoration, land restoration, reforestation and similar programs that absorb carbon and protect America's beauty.

A green jobs bill would include both job creation and job training.
