My comment:

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — In a sign of just how deep economic and budget problems
have grown in the nation's largest state, a gleaming new high school built
at a cost of $105 million will sit unused for at least a year because
education officials say they don't have money to operate it.
Newly constructed Hillcrest High School in Riverside, Calif., won't be
easing the crowding at La Sierra High as the new school sits empty for the
coming school year.

Payroll Tax Holiday Is Dead
For 2010-2012, the Social Security tax withholding rate on your salary was
temporarily reduced from the normal 6.2% to 4.2%. If you’re self-employed,
the Social Security tax component of the self-employment tax was reduced
from the normal 12.4% to 10.4%. Last year, this so-called payroll tax
holiday could have saved one person up to $2,202 or a working couple up to $

Cheap natural gas and increasingly competitive labor costs are bringing
factories and jobs back to the U.S. Eight ways to win.
As the only industrialized superpower not decimated by World War II, the
United States once made nearly 40% of the planet's goods. These days, that
number has shrunk to 18%. We make American Girl dolls in China, Levi's jeans

l******n 发帖数: 11737 | 31 4个月前刚办的车保,一年保。当时LD驾龄5年多,我不到一年。
结果几天前收到保险公司通知,说保费涨了几百。
打电话去问Agent,Agent说保险公司故意的,开始给我们低价,等到我LD驾龄到6年了
,就说我们状态变了,要更新,然后保险公司重新评估,说我驾龄短,所以保费反而涨
了。
我们觉得这很过分,于是查了一下其他公司,发现给的价比之前还要便宜,于是决定
cancel掉换一家。然后那个Agent又说我们可以cancel,但是由于合同没到期,所以要
交4.5%年保费的违约金。我们觉得匪夷所思,难道你更新我们合同我们都没选择权吗?
于是我查了一下我们州政府的法律,发现如下一条:
