The Bush Administration pledged $1 billion on Monday to help hospitals and doctors provide emergency care for illegal immigrants. Members of Congress, especially those from border states, have complained in the past that the treatment of illegal immigrants places a massive financial burden on many hospitals.

Much to the chagrin of college students around Ohio, the state legislature is considering doubling the tax on beer as part of its two-year state budget. Although the proposed tax would negatively affect the pockets of thirsty college students, it is problematic for more reasons than just the extra financial burden for fun-seeking students -or any other Ohio citizen.
