...says Gore. So he proposes pouring more revenue into the program in order to fund the retirement of the baby boomers without having to raise payroll taxes or cut benefits. Since the Social Security system cannot keep big cash reserves of its own, Gore relies on a two-step process. He uses $3.5 trillion of the projected surpluses over the next 12 years to pay down the entire national debt; then he takes the resulting savings in interest payments (which by 2015 will amount to more than $220 billion a year) and funnels them into Social Security...
...months ago and stopped receiving cash aid. Rene Haros' income was low enough for her five children to remain eligible for Medicaid. But no one told her that unless she asked for it, they'd be cut off. To re-apply, she has to navigate a complex and intrusive process. She must go to an interview, fill out as many as 19 forms, reveal family assets and document everything from children's births to job histories of adult household members.

About an hour out of the city, a series of illegal clearings begins in one of the few remaining stands of primary forest along the road. Settlers have invaded from every road or path, including the right of way for electrical lines that run through the forest...
...development. Marina Silva, a federal senator from Acre and one of a handful of environmentally oriented members of the Congress, says the entire plan went through with virtually no debate, and the decision to pave BR-163 was made without debate, public review or public hearings. The rushed-approval process backfired, however, since the failure to produce an environmental-impact assessment has given opponents an opportunity to stall the project while they regroup. Public-interest lawyers and conservation groups have adopted a strategy of challenging the government to provide assurances on the impact of each aspect of the road, such...
