Amnesty Will Cost $6.3 Trillion
- By Mike Scruggs
The Heritage Foundation has just released its cost estimate for the Amnesty portion only of the Schumer-Rubio or "Gang-of-Eight" U.S. Senate "comprehensive immigration reform" bill, S.477. The Heritage report's author, Robert Rector, believes $6.3 Trillion is a conservative minimal estimate.
Adding $6.3 Trillion to an already dangerous $16.5 Trillion debt is reason enough for public alarm or for any sane member of Congress to vote against it. However, the Schumer-Rubio Senate bill contains far more special interest goodies than amnesty, as disastrous as amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants would be.

Free Electricity at Taxpayer’s Expense
- By James "Chip" Moore
In 2009 Greenville County installed dual electric car charging stations with funds awarded through the Recovery Act: County of Greenville, SC Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. These stations are located outside of 301 University Ridge. For over three years these charging stations have been available to the public free of charge.
The electricity that powers each station ties into the building’s electricity and is not a separate entity. Although it is reported that the stations are used sparingly, the funds to support these stations come out of the building’s electricity fund.
The purpose of the award is to implement the County’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy in order to reduce fossil fuel emissions; reduce total energy use of eligible entities; and improve energy efficiency in the building sector, transportation sector, and other appropriate sectors, along with creating jobs.
