    In Michigan, Deficits Defy Years of Cutting By MONICA DAVEY Published: July 11, 2009 LANSING, Mich. — Long before California resorted to i.o.u.’s to pay state bills, and before New York’s political insurrection made a mess of this year’s budget planning, and even before the recession pushed dozens of other states into their worst fiscal distress in decades, lawmakers here were cutting. The cuts started in the 2002 budget year, when some prisoners were ordered to sleep two to a cell. Then came cuts to state colleges in 2003, and orchestras, zoos and operas in 2004. Medical payments for the...

    Much of the Hudson River Valley, in all its magnificence, lies in New York's 20th Congressional District. So does Saratoga Springs and its renowned racetrack, as do a host of small towns that should make this district quintessential Republican territory. For two decades, the district was represented by conservative stalwart Gerald Soloman, whose vote often topped 70 percent. His Republican successor should have had the seat for life, but a series of bizarre personal incidents enabled centrist Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand to take the seat narrowly in 2006. Earlier this year, Mrs. Gillibrand was appointed to Hillary Rodham Clinton's U.S. Senate...

    The Bush tax cuts have been routinely assailed as multimillion dollar giveaways to the Rolls Royce owners of America at the expense of the middle class. But new IRS statistics on the taxes Americans pay show that George Bush's tax policies actually soak the rich. It turns out that the income tax burden has substantially shifted onto the wealthy. The percentage of federal income taxes paid by those who make more than $200,000 a year has actually risen from 41% to 47% in recent years. In other words, the richest 3 out of 100 Americans are now paying close to...

    (Washington, D.C.) - Usually the congressional pork-barrel process is something of a mystery, with boondoggles only brought to light when they are faits accomplis. But occasionally, the mask slips and taxpayers get a glimpse of how spending decisions are really made. Earlier this year, according to Roll Call, Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs/Housing & Urban Development (VA/HUD) Chair Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) bluntly approached Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.), who faces a tough November election: "Paul, let's talk pork." She added, "We like you and we want you back." Mikulski told Wellstone to get a better fix on projects that would...
