...Clinton is in fact making significant progress in tackling her debt, which she managed to trim by nearly two-thirds during the first quarter of 2009. But that's not because of gimmicks like raffling off tickets to American Idol. Her campaign's real asset is its database of supporters. In the first quarter alone, it raised more than $2 million renting out that list. Among those who paid the most to use it: Barack Obama's Inauguration committee and the William J. Clinton Foundation, each of which spent...
...Munis don't offer the same sleep-at-night safety they used to," says Christopher Cordaro, a financial planner at Regent Atlantic in Morristown, NJ. Earlier this year, Cordaro, who has been a planner for 22 years, began advising clients for the first time in his career to trim their muni bond holdings.

Over time, with Smith's guidance, Pat learned to trim his bills here and there. Instead of refilling small prescriptions, for instance, he could buy some drugs more cheaply in bulk. (A hundred pills of one blood-pressure medication was less than $16 at Costco, compared with $200 at the pharmacy.) But that didn't address the cost of his care going forward. Pat's kidney function, which was 48% when Smolens first saw him last summer, has fallen to between 35% and 40%. And there are now outward, obvious signs of Pat's illness: he is lethargic, his eyes...
