 SEC wants to increase frequency, lower duration of trading stoppages The Huffington Post Share
Federal regulators are considering changing the rules for when a dramatic shift in the stock market's value triggers exchanges to cut off trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission put proposed changes in so-called circuit breakers out for public comment.

Two campaign finance reform organizations are calling on the Internal Revenue Service to revoke the tax-exempt status of four non-profit organizations heavily engaged in national politics. The groups are the Republican-leaning Crossroads GPS and American Action Network, the Democratic-leaning Priorities USA, as well as the nonpartisan Americans Elect. All fall under the IRS' 501(c)(4) code - broadly defined as social welfare organizations that should not have a primary purpose of engaging in politics - and therefore aren't required to disclose their source donors.

Affordable Care Act: Will Supreme Court protect children, women and elderly? The Washington Times Share
Congress, the White House and federal courts continue to battle over the nation's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed into law in March 2010. On Sept. 28, President Obama asked the Supreme Court to review the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that the PPACA's requirement for all Americans to get health insurance by 2014 is unconstitutional. More Tax hikes and jobs: The whole story CNN Money Share
Raise taxes on the rich, and you'll put the nation's "job creators" at risk. It's a ubiquitous Republican talking point: Congress must keep the top two rates at 33 percent and 35 percent - instead of 36 percent and 39.6 percent as President Obama wants. More  |
