Puer tea may not look like much - it is typically sold in heaps resembling cow patties - but one mug of these aged leaves can fetch up to $1,000.

The real budget problems lie in the long-term programs, such as Medicare and Social Security: Medicare's 2003 prescription-drug program has added nearly $1 trillion to the deficit and baby boomers' looming retirement will stress Social Security's already financially precarious situation.
