Hays County is in big trouble. From daily living costs to water preservation and consumption, to developing roadways and commercial developments, to permitting the over-building of housing and residential developments. We are in big trouble and the problems are not going away.

Time for Improved Regulations and Oversight of Credit Bureaus

by Peter Stern

These days Americans are being forced to deal with a number of economic plagues. Perhaps the foremost is the largest unemployment in the history of our nation.

The American Dilemma

A pending economic and social catastrophe of epic proportions
