President
Obama’s plan to cover the price tag for his $467 billion economic
stimulus package has a familiar ring to it. The White House wants to pay
the lion’s share of the cost by limiting tax deductions and exemptions
for wealthier Americans and corporations, taxing earnings from
investment fund managers as regular income, and eliminating many oil and
gas industry tax breaks. Source Link
Nearly
a half-century later, the world is hearing from First Lady Jackie
Kennedy about life in the White House. It’s the first airing of audio
interviews that were done in 1964 just after President John F. Kennedy
was assassinated. The recordings that were sealed until now under orders
from the former First Lady are the basis for a television special and
new book by daughter Caroline Kennedy. Source Link
Researchers
say one of the world’s most famous diet programs lives up to its name. A
new randomized controlled study shows that those who used Weight
Watchers lost twice as much weight as those who used standard weight
management care by doctors. The study authors say the low-cost program
can be an affordable and effective tool for wide scale efforts to battle
obesity. Source Link
