Publisher's Notes
From: NewsTrove.com
"In an article for the American Prospect that contained much of the rationale for many aspects of the Gore-Lieberman campaign, Gore pollster and strategist Stan Greenberg wrote that following the Monica Lewinsky scandal, "Democrats were again identified with a 1960s-style irresponsibility. Voters want political leaders who put family at the center of political discussion and are drawn to candidates who respect the public's religious faith." Undoubtedly this theory heavily influenced Gore's selection of Joseph Lieberman, the most overtly religious candidate for national office since William Jennings Bryan."

The cost squeeze is on. Automobile companies are racing to get slimmer. According to The New York Times, automakers are now ranked according to how few hours they spend building a car. For instance, General Motors claims to be the leader, with only 35.2 hours per vehicle. Chrysler puts in 37.42 hours. Ford takes 38.6 hours. They're all keeping an eye on the efficiencies of Toyota, which assembles cars in Fremont, Calif., in only 21.92 hours while gaining market share.
Every company in the world is now engaged in a race to reduce costs."

WC: Any material goods we make may be suitable for consumption, production or exchange value. Any durable or consumable good can be used as a trade good, a medium of exchange or saved in inventory as a store of value for future consumptin or trade.

Plastic: The Troubled Future Of Medicare
From: NewsTrove.com
"The money for premiums usually comes directly out of the Social Security checks of senior and disabled Americans. The Bush administration said the increase reflects general growth in health-care costs and higher payments to physicians and health plans under the new Medicare reform law, which created a Medicare prescription drug benefit.
Speaking of which, HHS claims the new prescription drug program will reduce out-of-pocket costs for most seniors, but drug price increases in the last 12 months have already wiped out any gains from discount cards or from the provisions of the bill that will take effect in 2006."
The Troubled Future Of Medicare
From: NewsTrove.com
"Social Security is plainly in trouble as well. The retirement age has already been raised to 67 for anyone born after 1959, but even that isn't enough for Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who wants to raise the retirement age further as a way of avoiding "drastic cuts in benefits, possibly coupled with huge tax increases for future workers." The Social Security System collects more in payroll taxes than it pays out in benefits, and will continue to do so until at least 2018; unused payroll taxes are borrowed by the federal government and replaced by special-issue Treasury bonds."
