Perry urged to pause as Texas lawmakers push more abortion, budget bills
In the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Gov Rick Perry is urged to end the current workload and send lawmakers home after completing abortion restrictions and other key items in the ongoing special session. The piece notes a crowded file of proposed bills on charter schools, vouchers, spending limits, gun laws, sex education, Medicaid, and a constitutional rewrite. It highlights Senate Bill 6 by Sen Kel Seliger to fund higher education projects, but argues the session should pause to avoid gridlock.

Robert Romano discusses Bernanke's June 18 hint of a 2014 sunset to QE and a later 6.5 percent unemployment target, noting markets spiked as Treasuries sold when QE slows. He argues rate directions depend on deficits, global demand, and market forces, with few rate rises likely if demand stays steady.
