From: NewsTrove.com
"CLIVE, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush and Democratic rival John Kerry battled over science, taxes and Iraq, as the spotlight of their newly tight race shifted to their running mates' only televised debate.

Small Business 'Creates the Jobs'
From: NewsTrove.com
"WHEELING - Empowering America's small business sector is one of the ways the Bush administration is trying to strengthen the domestic economy, said U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Samuel W. Bodman during his remarks Tuesday to the Wheeling Rotary Club.
Specifically, the deputy secretary claimed President George W. Bush would help small businesses through tax relief and efforts to bring about more affordable health care.
"Small businesses are not particularly well understood by the public," Bodman began. "But it's really the small business sector that creates the jobs in our economy."

From: NewsTrove.com
"The "Greatest Generation" and its baby-boom children have promised themselves benefits unprecedented in size and scope. Many leading economists say that even the world's most prosperous economy cannot fulfill these promises without a crushing increase in taxes - and perhaps not even then.

A USA TODAY analysis found that the nation's hidden debt - Americans' obligation today as taxpayers - is more than five times the $9.5 trillion they owe on mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other personal debt."
The boys on the bus have three empty seats: Pick one
From: NewsTrove.com
"Let's say you're going to be stuck on bus on a cross-country trip.
Not one of those nice excursion buses with the comfy reclining seats, the bathroom in the back and plenty of legroom. No, we're talking about one of those old Greyhound buses that smell of institutional cleaning solvents and collective sweat.
Those of you who are my age know exactly the kind of bus I'm talking about. When you were either too scared or too smart to hitchhike on a trip of any distance, the bus was your likely mode of transportation.
Anyway, you're getting on the bus and you see only a couple of open seats.
So, where do you sit?"
