Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump don't agree on much of anything, but there is one area where they have a meeting of the minds: they both want to spend way more on public works programs. Hillary Clinton says that her primary jobs stimulus will be a massive $275 billion-plus infrastructure spending binge.
Donald Trump one-upped Clinton last week promising to spend twice that amount. He says the money is necessary because of crumbling roads and "bridges that are falling down."
WASHINGTON, DC – In her ongoing battle with the Obama administration regarding the closure of the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) on Wednesday released a comprehensive report summarizing the terrorist affiliations and backgrounds of more than 100 individuals recently held at the facility.
Early in his first term, President Barack Obama announced plans to close the detention center, which held approximately 240 prisoners at that time. So far, his administration has transferred 162 suspected terrorists to other countries. Five percent of those transferred have re-engaged in militant activities, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and another 8 percent are suspected of doing so. There are currently 76 prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
