President Donald Trumps plan to boost the economy with millions of jobs rebuilding roads, bridges and ports has a snag, the construction industry says: There arent nearly enough skilled workers to fill them.
Vice President Pence has acknowledged that the White House tax plan, details of which may be months away, could add to the budget deficit initially, putting President Donald Trump at odds with some congressional Republicans.
Maine and Georgia joined Massachusetts and New York last month in putting photos on welfare cards to stop misuse of taxpayer money, and similar proposals have been offered in a dozen other U.S. states.
At least six states and counties from Maryland to Oregons Multnomah are getting inmates coverage under Obamacare and its expansion of Medicaid, the federal and state health-care program for the poor.
Indianas debate about same-sex marriage was once all about morals. Now its about business.
