TRADE LIMITS:
The 30-year world trade limit on textile imports ended earlier this month, in response to the 1,000 percent increase of Chinese imports that have crippled the U.S. job market.
BANKRUPTCY:
Senate passed a bankruptcy law last week making it harder for Americans to delete their debts. People who would normally file for Chapter 7 will be forced to file Chapter 13, follow a repayment plan and attend credit counseling.
MILITARY:
The Pentagon has begun reassessing operations in Iraq, aiming for more efficiency. With more than 145,000 troops in Iraq, the threat of possible actions in North Korea and Iran have added stress to United States military efforts.
LEGAL RIGHTS:
A judge ruled Monday that California's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional that if upheld on appeal, would open the way for the most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.
