Smith (not her real name) sees overcrowded prisons and that the cost to keep someone incarcerated is more than the cost of attending Stanford. After some digging, Rep. Smith comes up with a plan &#8211; to put [...]]]></description>

Cities like El Paso  and states like Utah and California are experimenting with the concept. And initial findings are promising; the financial savings are real, especially in the cost for energy.

Well qualified ARM borrowers will see their loans reset soon which will make the subprime borrowers&#8217; default rates look like child&#8217;s play.  Even though recent declining mortgage interest rates have helped ARM borrowers stay afloat, the current mortgage interest rates will not last forever and will only [...]]]></description>
