President Announces HARP Extension. Start Saving Today

urdens on law-abiding citizens.
The agreement also prioritizes collecting records over protecting citizens,"
Coburn said. "This is the wrong approach.Preventing sales to dangerous persons,
not collecting receipts, will save lives."The National Rifle Association
followed up with its own criticism of the proposal."Expanding background
checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not
solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools,"
the NRA said. "The sad truth is that no background check would
have prevented the tragedies in Newtown, Aurora or Tucson."Other Republicans
voiced concern that the legislation being voted on Thursday still included
the older background check measure. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,
who plans to vote against proceeding on Thursday, said that background check
provision would be a "clear overreach.""The following offenses would now
be federal crimes absent surrendering their firearms and conducting a background
check. Federal offenses: an uncle giving his nephew a hunting rifle for
Christmas; a niece giving her aunt a handgun for protection; a cousin
loaning another cousin his hunting rifle if the loan occurs just one
day before the beginning of hunting season," he said.The Manchin-Toomey
plan would be voted on later as an amendment. Manchin and Toomey
both have received "A" ratings from the NRA, and their endorsements could
make it easier for hesitant colleagues to back th
Some Texas applicants for welfare would be subjected to drug testing and
would be permanently cut off if they fail three times under a
bill passed Wednesday by the state Senate.The bill covers Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families program applicants. The program, which provides poor
people with money for food, clothing, housing and other basic needs, distributes
about $90 million to more than 100,000 Texans annually. The amount of
the payment depends on family size and income."Taxpayer money should not
be used to subsidize someone's drug habit," bill sponsor Sen. Jane Nelson,
R-Flower Mound, said before the bill sailed through on a 31-0 vote
that sent it to the House.The program already requires adult TANF applicants
to sign a pledge not to sell or use drugs. Nelson's bill
would move Texas in line with seven other states that require testing.
It would not cover other welfare programs such as food stamps or
other state benefit programs.Not all applicants would be tested, but all
would be required to undergo a screening assessment, likely a questionnaire,
to determine their risk of drug use. Anyone with a previous felony
drug conviction or failed drug test or who is otherwise deemed a
high risk for drug use would be tested.Applicants who test positive would
be barred from collecting benefits for 12 months. They could reapply in
six months if they complete a substance abuse program. Three failed drug
tests would result in a permanent ban

Recently, the president has announced the decision to extend HARP into 2015 allowing more homeowners to realize their savings potential. Thanks to these new government programs mortgage rates are now hovering at an all-time low and homeowners are acting fast by taking advantage of their opportunity to refinance.

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ess," he said. "Failure to commit to this kind of open
process is tantamount to an admission that the bill is not workable
and will not stand up to public scrutiny."Sessions and Lee have been
among the most skeptical Republican lawmakers when it comes to ongoing efforts
to draft an immigration overhaul.Those talks have largely been confined
to the so-called "Gang of Eight," which includes four Democrats and four
Republicans. A key member of that group is Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
who has along with Sessions and others urged Senate Democrats not to
rush the process.Separately, Sessions and two other Republican senators
on Wednesday sent a letter to the Republican members of the "Gang
of Eight" asking for specific details on the projected cost of the
immigration bill.Though a recent agreement between big labor and big business
on the issue of temporary worker cards was highly touted, the senators
have tried to draw attention to what is arguably the bill's most
controversial component -- the path to citizenship for up to 11 million
illegal immigrants."A primary concern related to a large-scale legalization
of illegal immigrants is the long-term cost for taxpayers," the lawmakers
said in the letter Wednesday. The letter was signed by Sessions, Sen.
Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan.Voicing concern that
illegal immigrants who eventually obtain a green card and later citizenship
would at some point be eligible for a host of
swings would
be too jarring -- but an increasing number are accepting it for
payment. Gallippi's company, BitPay, handles Bitcoin transactions for some
4,500 companies, taking payments in bitcoins and forwarding the cash equivalent
to the vendor involved, which means that his clients are insulated from
the cybercurrency's volatility.Gallippi said many of the businesses are
e-commerce websites, but he said an increasing number of traditional retailers
were looking to get into the game as well."We just had an
auto dealership in Kansas City apply," he said.In March, BitPay said its
vendors had done a record $5.2 million in bitcoin sales -- well
ahead of the $1.2 million's worth of monthly revenue estimated to have
coursed through Silk Road last year.Even artists accept bitcoins. Tehran-based
music producer Mohammad Rafigh said the currency had allowed him to sell
his albums "all over the world and not only in Iran."Gallippi said
the cybercurrency's ease of access was its biggest selling point.With Bitcoin,
"I can access my money from any computing device at any time
and do whatever the heck I want with it," he said. "Once
you move your money into the cloud why would you ever go
back to putting your money in the bank?"Many Wall Street veterans are
skeptical -- and they may feel vindicated after Bitcoin's latest tumble."Trading
tulips in real time," is how longtime UBS stockbroker Art Cashin described
Bitcoin's vertiginous rise, comparing
