February 192,000 net new jobs breaks down into 222,000 jobs added in the private sector and 30,000 jobs dropped by government. This provides evidence for one side of the economic policy debate of the moment, you could even say of our time. Those on the right argue that government is too large and has been weighing down the economy as a whole with debt, discouraging investment and thus stifling economic growth. These are the Hayekians, followers of economist Friedrich Hayek.By contrast, Keynesians follow economist John Maynard Keynes, who argued that government had to pick up the unemployment slack during a r

WASHINGTON 鈥?Republicans running Congress have promised to use every weapon in their arsenal to take down President Barack Obama health care law.But now some are questioning whether to use the congressional budget process to derail the 2010 law or save the special step for more traditional purposes like cutting spending or overhauling the tax code. A potentially divisive debate between tea party forces and GOP pragmatists looms.At issue is an arcane process known as budget reconciliation.

SAN ANTONIO After tens of thousands of migrant families, most from Central America, crossed the Rio Grande into Texas last summer, the government poured millions of dollars into two large detention centers meant to hold women and children and keep more from
jordan coming.But as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement expands the centers to make space for the next wave of arrivals, the agency faces legal and political challenges that could shut them down. And a new flow of migrants raises questions as to whether the strategy has deterred migration at all.One center is a purpose-built, 50-acre campus in Dilley, an hour drive southwest of San Antonio. Another, smaller center is tucked among derricks in Karnes City. They will be able to house some 3,400 migrants once they reach full capacity, just a fraction of those crossing, leaving ICE with few options besides releasing many with notices to appear in court, as it did in the past.Some 130 House Democrats and 33 senators have called on the government to halt family detention, while a federal judge in California has tentatively ruled
