Unlike Gore, Bush has no proposals that specifically target uninsured children, preferring to classify them instead under the general bracket of the uninsured. This is particularly troubling, given recent news that states neglected to spend nearly half of the 4.2 billion dollars given to them by Congress in 1997 as part of the Children's Health Insurance Program. Texas and California were responsible for half of that unspent money. Bush's state--which is home to the second highest percentage of uninsured children--reported this year that it could not spend $445 million of its allocated money, largely...
...prosecution two blows. He ruled that the defense could use highly sensitive material in court, forcing the government to accept a compromise of secret information. And he allowed Lee's lawyers to subpoena internal government documents that might shed light on whether racial profiling had been used to target Lee in the first place. Both rulings threatened to make a trial unpleasant for the government. Lee's lawyers planned to portray him as an unlikely spook, more bumbling and naive than clever and secretive, who had asked for a colleague's help in moving the files--curious tradecraft...
...Prime Minister abruptly found himself the prime target of an infuriated nation last week when stoic Brits reached the end of their patience over extravagant fuel prices and the country ran out of gas. A mere handful of truckers and farmers--not more than 2,500--shut down the world's fourth largest economy, blockading refineries and supply depots, emptying nearly every filling station, propelling panicked buyers to strip milk and bread from market shelves, closing schools and businesses, provoking the Queen to grant Blair broad emergency powers. In the end, he didn't need them. The savvy protesters claimed...
...that buys zero-coupon bonds, which are hypersensitive to rate moves. Zeros are bought for a fraction of face value and make no regular interest payments but are redeemed at face value when they mature (unlike those old friends, they always do). The O'Higgins Fund and American Century Target 2025 are solid choices, both having returned more than 23% this year. Warning: returns would fall fast if rates head sharply higher, something few economists expect...
Wyss figures the economy is slowing enough to reduce the "core rate" of inflation--the underlying trend, minus usually volatile food and energy prices--to about 2.5% a year. That is believed to be just about Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's target. Result: after about a year of "below-trend" growth, output could be able to speed up again. Wyss figures the economy has the potential to grow almost 4% annually over the next 10 years...
