Democrats, of course, immediately pronounced the budget a fraud and a cheat. The Administration's central claim was that discretionary spending next year would rise 4%--a figure its publicists held aloft as a talisman of compassionate conservatism, at once generous and sensible. Not so, said the green eyeshades at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Leaving aside increases for defense, international affairs and a new reserve fund, "domestic appropriated programs" would increase a total of just 1.5% next year. Since any increase lower than the inflation rate is, by Washington tradition, considered a decrease, Democrats were happy...
...Israeli, but I will never deny nor stop protesting the way every single Palestinian’s life has been altered by the conflict with Israel. I am disappointed to find that not everyone is as generous. Some Palestinians and their supporters would insist, as Doshi does, that most Israelis “continue to live uninterrupted lives,” contrasting them with the Palestinians who have all known someone killed in the intifada, who have all been touched by the violence.

...mood has influenced the career choices of college students and recent graduates. Many are spurning high-powered corporate careers to train for teaching, nursing and other community-service jobs. Joe Holland turned down generous offers after graduating from Harvard Law School a few years ago to move to Harlem to help build up the community. Now the owner of a restaurant and a travel agency, Holland has also founded a shelter for the homeless. ''I know that coming to Harlem shut the door to Wall Street,'' says he. ''But I can look at a healthy man, a full-time travel...
George W. Bush has argued that his $1.6 trillion tax-cut plan would help America dodge a recession. But because its most generous provisions don't kick in until after 2003, the President's proposal can't provide much countercyclical punch before then. Democrats, who oppose the measure as too large and too favorable to the rich, several weeks ago called for $60 billion to $80 billion in tax cuts this year, many of them targeted at middle- and low-income groups. The idea: offer people some money now so they'll spend and give the economy a boost...
