That Braun is a piece of work. Apparently got on the science committee because he is an MD and has a degree in chemistry also.
With his ridiculous statements he should be kicked off the committee.
On his web site he sounds like a good fiscal conservative and NRA/Gun Rights member.
His speech was that of a lunatic uneducated buffoon. It is hard to reconcile his apparent views with the education he has had. His speech reflected poorly on himself and tends to rub on other conservatives who may or may not have ridiculous views.
From Wayne: "So that shows the problem with the US, the ignorant people are electing ignorant leaders who sidetrack those who actually have a clue about science, what can be done, and what needs to be done. The impact upon the education of the American youth will be a hard hit on the country as a whole in the future."
It really started with unequal qualifications in college testing to favor blacks in the mid 70s on, and the same for teaching and other jobs(like getting into the airlines). Also, since 1965, over-immigration has favored low IQ over-breeders, who make up a disproportionate amount of the classroom, dumbing down the curve. The average US IQ has fallen to 96, which is the lowest necessary to reach a journeyman trade level in 10 years, and it continues to fall. You can see why by watching the video from numbersusa, "Gumballs".
From Roy Beck of NumbersUSA, the anti-US overpopulation group:
DEAR FRIENDS,
There were a lot of revelations and nuances about immigration in last night's second presidential candidates debate. I have a lot of comments on a range of them in my blog at:
https://www.numbersusa.com/content/nusa ... ation.htmlBut this is what I think was the most important view we got from the heated exchange between the candidates on immigration:
Gov. Romney sent a powerful positive message to unemployed American workers in construction, service and manufacturing by refusing to budge from his long-term insistence on strong enforcement to get illegal immigrants out of U.S. jobs.{very good!}
He did so in the face of a tough audience question about "productive" illegal immigrants and in response to attacks by Pres. Obama about Romney's support for "self-deportation."
Romney noted two primary ways that a country can enforce its immigration rules and said he rejects the one that involves mass roundups and mass deportations. Instead, he said, he would take away the jobs and benefits magnets and allow most illegal immigrants to come to their own conclusion on moving back to their home countries.
Obama, unfortunately, indicated that he opposes both enforcement options, except for deporting criminals who are "hurting the community."{IOW he is not upholding his Oath and committing felony encouragement}
Although Obama touted success in controlling illegal border crossings, he promised nothing to even discourage millions of tourists and other visitors from over-staying their visas and competing against Americans for jobs.
>Obama inaccurately described an Arizona law as authorizing police to stop people for looking like they might be illegal immigrants and he accused Romney of saying that should be a model for the nation.{IOW he lied}
Romney disavowed any such position -- something independent fact-checkers have been confirming for months -- but said he does believe the model for the nation is the Arizona law that requires all employers to use E-Verify, a federal system that ensures that jobs go to Americans and legal immigrants.
Less than 5% of the seven million illegal immigrant workers are in agriculture. Most are less-educated and in construction, manufacturing, service and transportation occupations. The majority of the 20 million Americans who can't find a full-time job are also less-educated and looking for jobs in those same occupations."
Actually it is more like 20 million working illegals, mostly under the table for felony encouragers. As far as the company that does Romney's investments for him---Obama has a similar company overseeing his $2 million in investments, much of which is also in China, which Romney pointed out. At least Romney is not a multiple felon like Obama!!! R&R have got our votes!
