Ever spent money on something that was over price? However, you knew you had to buy it cause you couldn't get it anywhere else at the moment. That place just cheated you, huh? Well, that's how the Justice Department is... The editorial board makes an creditable argument, and provides hard facts about how the Justice Department held or participated in 1,832 conference [costing] $121 million. Even tho the Justice Department holds worthy covering topics [like] drug enforcement and violence against women; they however, hold these conference in a luxury hotel. That's not even the kicker; the prices they charge for there food is ridiculous. Muffins range at $16 dollars not including tax and tip. Tip for buying a muffin? I know... Oh, and cookies, and brownies that you can get for $2-3 dollars at a store are $10 each. The list is endless. Check out the link to see some of the other ridiculous prices. It'll blow your mind!
Besides the over price foods and beverage, the cost of 10 Justice Department conference range at $4.4 million, [the] food and beverage costing another whooping $490,000 dollars. The Justice Department is spending massive amounts of money just to "talk" about topics that seem to still occur in our society. Ever wonder how an $600 toilet, or $400 dollar hammer looks? Take a trip to the Pentagon and check it out. The government chooses to spend money beneficing themselves. Why not cut down on the government waste and use that money for more beneficial purpose? Hands down, the government (Justice Department) is greed. Wouldn't you agree? I agree that this is the kind of behavior by public officials that deepens public cynicism about government spending [putting] embarrassment to the Obama adminstration who is trying to stop the wasteful spending by the Justice Department. The is no "justice" in a $16 dollar muffins, and $32 dollar popcorn. The question is; just how good does a $16 dollar muffin taste?

Are you serious?! This is crazy!
"U.S. Poverty Rate, at 15 Percent, Is the Highest Since 1993!" That's crazy! What has the world come to...? Every year our society encounter many new problems. However, every year our society lacks to care more about what is going on.
Joblessness is the driving force pushing many Americans into poverty. Poverty rates have gone up increasingly. In 2001 the poverty rate was at 11.7 percent, today the poverty rate has up itself to 15.1 percent! 3.4 percent increase you might think isn't that much, but it is! President Obama gears up to pass a jobs bill. This bill is supposedly going to create more jobs for Americans to help lower the poverty rate. I think not, this bill will only cause more problems! Ron Haskins, co-director of the Center on Children and Families believes that "this is one more piece of bad news on the economy". Haskins states, "This will be another cross to bear by the administration". Basically, Haskins is saying, we already have enough problems why pile more on top of each other. This article uses logical appeal to catch the attentions of us readers. The article asserts that median annual income for a male full-time, year-round in 1973 is $1,350 dollars more than the median annual income for a male full-time, year-round today. "The median, full-time male worker has made no progress on average" - Professor Danziger.
This article can be a reference to how the our society is going to be in the future. If you're a worker, be careful, keep your job. Don't slip under the poverty line, because once you're jobless you will be for a long period of time.
