they say it's because people without power have been using outdoor grills inside of their homes to cook as well as generators for electricity. using any type of appliance with combustible fumes indoors can lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide in the house once you breathe in the fumes. remember, you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. red blood cells can latch on to the carbon monoxide instead of oxygen and that causes you to suffocate. symptoms include headache, dizziness, weakness and nausea. the cdc says people need to be especially careful about going to sleep because you can die before you ever experience any of those symptoms. so the way to prevent that to avoid that, don't use any of those appliances with combustible fuels. don't use a grill or a generator inside your house. >>> doctors also warning that cold temperatures, strong winds and snow-covered roads and sidewalks can have a huge impact on your health if you are not careful. local hospitals have already reported dozens of patients who have come in with broken bones and sprains from falls. heart attacks and cardiac probl

if we had done the right thing we could have used this money to help americans stay and their house other than the millions who have lost their homes and use the money to stimulate the economy to create good jobs. what do we do? put the money into the bank's. when we did of welfare reform in 1996, for the poor , we said to get welfare you have to do certain things, training, when they put the banks on welfare, we said we would be bad for the banks if we put conditions on the bank's. what did we do? do whatever we want. we trust you. take my money. look at that record would you say we trust you? what do they do with our money? they did what the incentive said they would do. it comes back to incentives. they paid out the money in bonuses and dividends. in the book i try to explain why that was. why it was so predictable part of course, if they pay money out, it was not money that was going to be lent to create new jobs, it was the money that would recapitalize the banks and make them more able to lend in the future, and of the interesting thing is that we are over that period, congress and people are so angry, we're doing it in direc
