Italy - low birth rate and abortions having impact on the elderly
Story
Marzano is one of a swelling number of Italians entrusting themselves to an army of foreign workers from eastern Europe, South America, Asia and Africa who are doing what families here are increasingly can't or won't do - take care of their elderly. Long life, abortion and low birthrates have conspired to change family life, which long had been the one institution Italians could count on while history rolled past, with its parade of conquerors and short-lived governments. This is how the Roman Empire crumbled is America next?

Police suspected of abusing power
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56489
John McTernan is a former federal agent and co-founder of the Christian police group International Cops for Christ. He told WND, "Since 2000, York police's conduct has been outrageous toward pro-life advocates at the Planned Parenthood abortion center." McTernan cites incidents of abuse and complacency on the part of city police officers that are compensated by Planned Parenthood to work overtime shifts standing outside of the clinic. Uniformed officers are paid $37.50 per hour.

Follow the Money: Stem Cells and Subsidies
http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?article=391
The proponents of embryonic stem cell research insist they need taxpayer funding to bring these ‘miracle cures’ to the market. A more cynical view is that a group of scientists and their business allies want government subsidies to defeat the competition from more effective, less expensive, umbilical cord blood.

But the biggest question rippling across the internet–“Why hasn’t the mainstream media picked this up?” –is something only representatives of mainstream media can answer.
Splitting Hairs, Edwards's Stylist Tells His Side of Story
Story
At first, the haircuts were free. But because Torrenueva often had to fly somewhere on the campaign trail to meet his client, he began charging $300 to $500 for each cut, plus the cost of airfare and hotels when he had to travel outside California. Torrenueva said one haircut during the 2004 presidential race cost $1,250 because he traveled to Atlanta and lost two days of work.

The Unintended Consequences of Ethanol Subsidies
http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=10168
Ronald Reagan once said that the most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." His one-liner immediately comes to mind when looking at the problems behind the federal government’s campaign to boost production of corn-based ethanol with a massive, 51 cent per gallon subsidy. Ethanol is advertised as one of the main cures for our oil-thirsty economy. But it’s clear that the ethanol boom, with a major assist from Washington, is succeeding in simultaneously raising both fuel and especially food prices. .
Congress wants to mandate Public Safety Employee Unions Nationwide
http://www.heritage.org/Research/GovernmentReform/wm1537.cfm
The Public Safety Employer–Employee Cooperation Act (H.R. 980) would force all state and local governments to collectively bargain with police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel. Although this bill gives the appearance of respecting local control and flexibility, it actually severely restricts the freedom of state and local governments to tailor their policies to their needs. H.R. 980 would force states to negotiate subjects such as replacing a merit-based pay system with seniority-based promotions, which many local governments have found to be inappropriate in their jurisdictions. Congress should not force states and localities to recognize public sector unions as their employees' exclusive representatives.
