Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.

We almost never see freezing weather here. One winter, however, I lost
several plants to a severe freeze. The local nursery advised me to
ignore the possibility of a repeat freeze since they happen once in 10
years or less. In the years since then, that proved to be very good
advice.

How often is your garden affected by a hurricane or tropical storm?
Maybe you should ignore the possibility of a repeat catastrophe in your
garden. On top of that, bulbs, perennials, and most shrubs will come
back by themselves.

not sure where the OP is from, but honestly, it's just gusty winds here.
Unless the firmly planted tomato cages get airborn, I've got little to
worry about. There's always next year
