 After a few weeks of trying to stand tough in the face of demands for a wholesale rescue, Hank Paulson apparently couldn't take it anymore. So now we'll have the biggest bailout in history. The recent bailout, combined with the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, will leave American taxpayers on the hook for half a trillion dollars.
Question: Is the federal government going too far with its willingness to bail banks and financial institutions out after years of toxic lending? |

 A law that landed a Florida teenager in jail for having sagging jeans that exposed his underwear is unconstitutional, a judge has decided. The 17-year-old spent a night in jail after police arrested him for exposing 4 inches of boxer shorts in Riviera Beach, south-east Florida. Town voters backed the law in March after supporters raised a petition. However, a circuit judge ruled that the law was unconstitutional based on "the limited facts" of the case. Carol Bickerstaff, defending teenager Julius Hart, had urged Judge Paul Moyle to throw out the law, saying: "Your honor, we now have the fashion police." Before making his ruling, Judge Moyle said: "We're not talking about exposure of buttocks. No. We're talking about someone who has on pants whose underwear are apparently visible to a police officer who then makes an arrest, and the basis is he's then held overnight."
Question: Do you think a town/city should be able to make/enforce a law the prohibits certain types of dress? |
