There are many reason why we need to address our national immigration policy. The current system is broken. It is a national security problem. It creates and encourages lawless behavior. But in addition to these problems that need to be addressed, there is an even bigger issue. We are an ageing society, and we simply need more young workers to serve as taxpayers. Yes, we don't need more taxes, we need more taxpayers! Read more about An Aging America - Yet Another Reason Why We Need Immigration Reform
Is 44 days too fast to move a bankruptcy the size of General Motors (GM) through the courts system without missing something major? Apparently so, as Judge Robert Gerber, in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) Bankruptcy Court, is now having to revisit this case because of some potentially damaging issues involving the Canadian subsidiary of GM and alleged improper transfer of assets to hedge funds. I have previously reported on the GM bankruptcy and spoke with Judge Gerber about the Canadian lock-up funds in San Diego last year.

One of the trends weve been watching closely is the shift in attitudes when it comes to the "college for all" mentality that has dominated public policy in recent decades. Now, a plan in support of that shift is picking up steam at the Texas Legislature.
In 2006, the Montgomery County commissioners created the Montgomery County Jail Financing Corporation in order to build the Joe Corley Detention Facility.

I join a bipartisan group of Representatives today to pay tribute to Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle, a true American military hero, who was tragically killed on February 2nd.
Chris was a personal friend of mine, and I know how great of a loss this is for his family and for this entire country. I hope that our words today will help the American public remember him, honor him, and be thankful for his dedicated service to protecting the freedoms and liberties we all enjoy.
Tennessee Law Professor Glen Reynolds recently wrote an article attempting to answer the question of why Americans are losing confidence in their government and even fearing it as a threat to their freedom. A recent Pew Poll noted that more than half of Americans view the government as a threat to their freedom!
Under President Obama, the deficit has doubled. The federal government now borrows 40 cents for every new dollar it spends. No family, no community, no country can sustain that kind of excessive spending. It’s the road to bankruptcy. We need to identify irresponsible spending, eliminate wasteful projects, and prioritize programs that provide the greatest benefit to the American people and economy.

We've been telling you about the push in Austin to bring balance to the Texas education system. Many feel there's too much emphasis on sending every single student to college and not enough recognition that the skilled trades are a great option for many.
