...climate has warmed, the intensity of those storms has increased. That's in part because of global warming - hotter air can hold more moisture, so when a storm gathers it can unleash massive amounts of snow.

No politician, especially a Democrat, wants to be accused of being heartless, but Obama might take a lesson from President Bill Clinton, who tightened welfare rules - and pushed millions out of a destructive cycle of poverty. Unlike the '90s, these are especially difficult economic times, and no one should underestimate the severity of American job losses or the fact that millions of jobs...
