Bill would allow illegals to join militaryBy
It's official! I've lost all trust in the leadership of the Republican Party. While this initiative might be OK compared to others proposals in the Immigration Bill; it's still a far cry from doing "what's Right"......
Bill would allow illegals to join military
By UPI StaffUnited Press InternationalJune 18, 2007
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Immigration reform being considered in Congress would give some young illegal aliens a chance to become U.S. citizens by serving in the military.
About 750,000 young people might be eligible under the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors or DREAM act, The Boston Globe reports. The bill would allow those who were under 16 when they arrived in the United States, have a high school diploma and meet some other qualifications, to get on track for citizenship as long as they serve at least two years.
Bill Carr, the acting deputy undersecretary of defense in charge of personnel, told the Globe the measure would be "good for readiness."
The Army has had to lower its recruiting standards to meet its goals and the Army and Marines plan to increase their ranks during the next five years.
About 35,000 non-citizens serve in the military under a program that gives legal residents accelerated citizenship.

The Paleo Blog has a post that must be read
Please link to http://paleo.vox.com/ for this great piece on how capitalism can be screwed up with just a little thought and preparation.
One of my favorite parts in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism by Robert Murphy is the section on price controls, or more specifically rent controls. Dr. Murphy hits the subject out of the ballpark. To give you all a taste (and a reason to buy the book!), in this entry to The Paleo Blog, I provide a summary, with my own version and comments or observations, of what he says in it. I also include a few empirical examples taken from Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to Understanding the Economy by Thomas Sowell.
