CHICAGO (UPI) -- More than 300 government employees in Chicago learned they would lose their jobs just two days before Thanksgiving, due to budget cuts.

Sherrod Brown of Ohio is introducing legislation that would allow underfunded private pension systems to borrow from the Federal treasury, with no interest, in order to shore up their members’ retirement fund. The legislation, which […]
