Recently mentioned in the debates were the “Bush Tax Cuts,” a set of laws passed in 2001 and 2003 that lowered marginal tax rates for almost all taxpayers. Although the laws were set to expire in 2010, President Obama renewed them until 2012. Now the debate begins a third time as Democrats and Republicans again argue about the cuts’ proposed expiration.
The Baylor Bookstore, the center of all things Baylor, remains the boon and the bane of most of the students that attend this school.
Not only can we get our textbooks and various school supplies there, we can get the latest young-adult fiction (Baylor appropriate, of course) for moderately unfair prices. We can get everything from day planners to the latest Apple products and accessories.
Tax policy has been a focal point in this election, with both candidates claiming their proposals “strengthen the middle class”. Much of the debate last Wednesday involved criticisms of the opponent’s tax policy.

Fortunately we have not had to face a loss at home in over a year and there is no reason to expect that we will lose at home this year, but a home loss will come.
I’ve lost loved ones, but I’ve never had to go through what the Ledet family is facing right now.
A plane crash over the weekend took the lives of Leonard Ledet, 60, his 62-year-old brother, Gregory Ledet, and his sons, Mason Ledet and Paul Ledet.
They were on their way to the Texas A&M game against Ole Miss.
Most of us have it — in the form of student aid, though we have yet to feel the effects. In fact, outstanding student loans in the U.S. equal a total of more than $1 trillion. Baylor is an expensive school – many of us are undoubtedly contributing to that sum.
Let me just say that love and agreeing are two totally different aspects of life. I may disagree with my family on occasion, but I don’t love them any less.
