President Obama, during his State of the Union address, told the country that it was going broke. But the rules of road as they are facilitated debt accumulation and high leveraging of assets. Bankruptcy laws, first-time homebuyer tax credits, and non-recourse loans all give the uninformed consumer incentive to buy a new home. Lest we as a people and as members of the largest economy in the world go bankrupt, we need to make policy decisions that bind all parties involved to a common fabric...

France, she says, needs to be defended from Islam's growing influence. Quick's halal option is "an Islamic tax" on diners. Not to be outdone, members of the ruling conservative Union for a Popular Majority (UMP) have also fretted over Quick's menu change. UMP secretary general Xavier Bertrand says it is undermining France's secular, integrationist social model, while UMP parliamentarian Richard Mallié salutes Vandierendonck's "republican combat...
