    Congress should prevent the loan rate hike and pay for it by targeting the very root of this increase - a provision in the 2010 federal health care law that raids student aid to the tune of $9 billion in order to "pay for" other parts of ObamaCare. Since this problem is of President Obama's own making, we should clean up this latest ObamaCare mess by ending this slush fund and applying the savings to prevent the upcoming rate increase.

  • The report, co-written with the Partnership for a New American Economy, describes current immigration policies as “irrational and undirected,”
  • U.S. faces a stalled economy and shortage of workers in growing innovation industries like science, technology and engineering without changes. Immigration roadblocks in the U.S. “send entrepreneurs to other countries, who are quick to welcome them,” the report said.
  • ”We are not looking at the benefits of immigration. We have walked away from what made this country great.”

  • From 2008 to 2010, the percentage of violations in relation to the number of wells drilled dropped from 58.2 percent to 30.5 percent
  • Nearly two-thirds of the violations were deemed “administrative” in nature and had no physical impact
  • Industry leaders are mounting a pushback against those efforts, arguing that states such as Pennsylvania, New York and others are far better equipped to craft guidelines specific to their geographic and environmental situations, rather than rely on a one-size-fits-all standard from Washington, D.C.
