Many were worried that the budget just pushes the worst problems down the road, since the costs of Social Security and Medicare will explode as the baby boomers retire.

...that news. Stewart saved at least $45,000 by selling her shares when she did, for $58.43. A few days after the sale, Merrill Lynch compliance officials quizzed Faneuil about the transaction.

Sometimes they clip coupons and turn up faithfully at job training. Sometimes they get drunk and disorderly. They go in for ill-advised sex and foolish spending sprees. In other words, the working poor are not so different from Paris Hilton, except that they have less...
