On this episode of Into America, host Trymaine Lee talks with Margo Robbins, a Yurok tribal member and president of the Cultural Fire Management Council, about her work in resurrecting the practice to help the environment and prevent future fires.

“Trump is burning down our forests” -Joe Biden
Nathaniel, I got hairy legs,that,that,that,that,that turn blonde in the sun and kids would rub my legs and jump on my lap and that taught me about roaches! Joe Biden!
Dementia Joe Fingers That was a classic. Joe Biden makes cringe memes, Donald Trump makes iconic memes. I’d take Trump over Biden and I’d bet everything on him winning in November.
The trees explode——-Donald Trump
Science doesn’t know-Donald Trump
It’ll be gone in April—–Donald Trump
Lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Factual fact time! Forest’s are the lungs of The Earth & its through forests our oxygen is provided to all us Living Things!. Without oxygen we’d all be dead & the earth would be barren. Have you hugged & thanked a tree today? I do all the time & I’m not a tree hugger necessarily even though I belong to Greenpeace & have a Greenpeace card. What fraternal orders do you support & belong to?
*Obama’s return to politics confirms his economic illiteracy*
Sept 2018 https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/406882-obamas-return-to-politics-confirms-his-economic-illiteracy
*Over the past three years, we have emphasized that corporate and business taxes are borne most heavily — 70-90 cents of every dollar — not by businesses and Wall Street but by workers in lower wages and fewer jobs. That is why this tax reform has led to an explosion of jobs and increased wages for average workers. Obama and the Democrats in Congress will not acknowledge this reality because it does not jive with their rhetoric, which trends more toward socialism every day.*
Obama’s economic “recovery” was no recovery at all, but the worst response to a recession since the Great Depression — precisely because he pursued just the opposite of the pro-growth policies of Presidents Kennedy and Reagan that are embedded in the 2017 Republican tax reform. Deficits under Obama soared, doubling the national debt, because of his near-zero economic growth, business-crushing regulation, tax rate increases and rampant expansion of federal benefit programs with relaxed work requirements.
Obama reopened his assault on President Trump and congressional Republicans with a claim that tax cuts increase the deficit but that Republicans really don’t care about deficits and national debt. This, from the king of deficits and debt, under whom the United States had record-shattering deficits of over $1 trillion four years in a row.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) originally estimated the GOP tax reform, as passed, would lose $1.456 trillion in revenue over 10 years. But as Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s chairman of the White House National Economic Council, reported on CBS’s “Face the Nation” last month, “Even the [latest] CBO numbers show now that the entire $1.5 trillion is virtually paid for by higher revenues and better nominal GDP.”
Many people have trouble understanding the relationship between tax policy and the economy, and the economy’s effect on tax revenues resulting from differing tax policies. Some of those people are candidates on the ballot this year, asking for your vote and criticizing their opponents for supporting the Trump tax cuts. Some of those people work in the media, and their ignorance only feeds general confusion.
The bottom line: when the economy grows, tax revenues grow, and when the economy declines, tax revenues decline. Today, the economy is booming in response to the 2017 tax reform, and the resulting effect on tax revenues is so strong that even state and local tax revenues are increasing.
When Kennedy entered office in 1961, the top income tax rate was 91 percent. He led Congress to cut income tax rates across the board, from the highest to the lowest, by about 23 percent. That produced an economic boom in the 1960s and federal tax revenues started growing almost immediately………….

*Analysts: Obama’s Economic Legacy Most Dismal of the Postwar Era*
May 2016 https://stream.org/analysts-obamas-economic-legacy-historically-bad/
*In economic terms, Barack Obama’s presidency will go down as the most dismal of the postwar era and one of the worst in history, according to two recent analyses.*
While the president is quick to point out that he “inherited a recession,” he has presided over the slowest recovery of the century, with GDP growth stagnant, productivity low and family incomes flatlining or falling.
*Fourth-Worst Economic President in History?*
“Average productivity growth for the past five years has been lower than any other five-year period on record, which extends back to 1947,” wrote Just Facts President James Agresti. “In fact, it has been 82 percent below the average of the 50 years prior to the Great Recession.”
The picture is the same even factoring out the economic downturn, which officially ended in June 2009. “Real GDP growth beyond population growth from 2010 to 2015 has been 39% below the average of the 25 years prior to the Great Recession,” Agresti, who relied on the Bureau of Labor Statistics for his assessment, concluded.
With this record, President Obama is on his way to becoming the first U.S. president never to have a single year of 3 percent GDP growth. Real growth in the first quarter of 2016 was an anemic 0.5 percent.
Louis Woodhill, a Forbes contributor, wrote that, using “wildly optimistic” assumptions about the rest of 2016, the U.S. economy will grow by only 1.55 percent during Barack Obama’s tenure in office.
“This would place his presidency fourth from the bottom of the list” of all presidencies, he wrote, “above only those of Herbert Hoover (-5.65%), Andrew Johnson (-0.70%), and Theodore Roosevelt (1.41%).”
*Despite Efforts, Results Are Poor*
These poor results come despite Obama’s use of costly public sector intervention to boost the economy. He passed an $830 billion stimulus package and expanded the money supply, and interest rates remained near zero. Some are now talking about a fourth round of quantitative easing, and Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen has raised in passing the prospect of imposing negative interest rates.
But the average American has not benefited from Obama’s policies. Despite a few years of modest growth, real income fell, and kept falling, even after the Great Recession ended. The most recent Census Bureau figures show the median income declined by 1.5 percent to $53,657 in 2014.
The number of Americans in poverty rose by 1.4 million in 2014, the last year for which data are available. But the Census Bureau noted it was “the fourth consecutive year [that] the number of people in poverty at the national level was not statistically different from the previous year’s estimates.”
Agresti cites numerous reasons for this, including the implosion of the American family.
*The Chronically Long-Term Unemployed*
In an influential 2011 report, Census Bureau officials Gordon W. Green Jr. and John F. Coder explained that another factor responsible for declining incomes is the fact that Americans now spend more time on unemployment than at any time in history.
While Obama and congressional Democrats extended the maximum to 99 weeks for some workers, the average length of time jobless workers collected unemployment peaked at 39.4 weeks in 2012. Though this has since declined to 28.4 weeks, it is still far above the historic average.
In September 1982, the average unemployed worker stayed on the rolls 16.6 weeks — nearly a full three months less than today.
Trump promised to have those forests raked up. But maybe Joe Biden’s #climatechange plan will actually help this instead of making it worse like trump does.
I can’t celebrate Ginsburg dying I am glad Trump will get another supreme court pick. Rest in peace Ruth Ginsburg.
