For more than half a century, conservative critics housed in think tanks and foundation and the media have championed the cause of conservative College Students who they say suffer on College Campuses.

The claire booth policy institute is targeted to women and the Federalist Society or humane studies at George Mason University provide internships for budding conservatives.

Gross domestic product turned out by the economy plummeted by an annual rate of 2. 9 . Thats the sharpest decline in five years. All winter long the crazy weather was blamed for hitting the economic activity. But now with all the data gathered and complete, it crank the gdp by three points below the original estimate. What happened . It was a lot more than just the bad weather. Consumer spending took a hit in part because of jobless benefits expired in january, and cuts to food stamps kicked in. In addition the pace of healthcare spending was way lower, and businesses were slow to restock their shelves after the holiday season. Finally exports of u. S.
