Another unconscionable misrepresentation is the statement, "Harvard will continue its generous (and recently considerably expanded) level of support for public service programs." In no way did Harvard, "considerably expand" its fiscal support to programs. Yes, the Maul-Lewis Report secured stable funding for PBHA's programmatic staff. But it did so by taking money away from the President's Public Service Fund, an amount of money intended for direct public service use. Programs were hit by a 30 percent reduction in Harvard funding, supposedly to pay for staff which had nonetheless been previously subsidized. I read this episode...
Democrats are hoping the special counsel that the ethics committee plans to hire will poke around in the Gingrich money machine until the investigator hits something foul.

In fact, the only easy way out of the deficit mess, aside from printing extra dollars on the presses in the Treasury Department, is to speed up economic growth, and that requires more capital investment...
...retirement that has left them with skills applicable only to old-fashioned, well-paying jobs--the center was created with $100,000 donated by Riese. "This ought to be a win-win-win situation," says company ceo Dennis Riese. "We're helping the seniors get jobs, helping employers expand their labor pool and helping the city in the process." Riese's enthusiasm is almost enough to make you forget there's something kind of sad about the need for such a program in the first place...
