The Deficit
Politicians want us to believe the middle class is the greatest part of the deficit problem. Politicians say lowering the deficit lies in cutting the middle class benefits. Politicians say to lower the deficit minimum wage must be eliminated. And politicians must raise retirement age and pritivatize social security. These are not solutions, but catastrophes. This forces 54 year old of today to

CBO Revises Deficit Down; Senate Comm Approves Farm Bill
Chapter 1: CBO Revises Budget Deficit Down $200 Billion
The Congressional Budget Office has revised its deficit forecast for this year by $200 billion, dropping its estimate to $642 billion. This puts the budget on track for its smallest deficit since 2008 when the economic crash reduced tax revenues and spurred stimulus spending. The CBO credited an increase in tax revenues along with a cash return from mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Additionally, they predict the deficit will continue to shrink to below 3 percent of the entire economy within the next two or three years, a point generally considered as economically sustainable. This has led some analysts to suggest high deficits are a thing of the past. We talk to Mark Rom, Professor at Government at Georgetown University.
Chapter 2: Judiciary Approves Farm Bill with $20 Billion in Cuts to Food Stamps
The Senate Agriculture Committee yesterday finally approved a five-year farm bill designed to cut spending through a combination of cuts in in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance along with decreases in farm subsidies. About $400 million of the $2.4 billion in proposed savings comes from cuts in SNAP – popularly known as food stamps – eliciting outcry from a number of Democratic Senators such as Kristen Gillibrand of New York. Much of the rest comes from cuts in direct payments to farmers, a controversial program that, critics say, end up costing the government more for food production than the production is worth. We talk to Bruce A. Babcock, Professor of Economics at Iowa State University.

Raising minimum wage will reduce the deficit
"With the worst recession in a generation still being felt across the nation, state and federal leaders are focused on getting their economies moving again while helping working families make ends meet. Raising the minimum wage is a key strategy for doing both and should be part of an economic recovery agenda. Low-income families spend all of their additional income on basic necessities in their local communities. A raise in the minimum wage will increase consumer spending and

ADHD: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics
“There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli. It has been said the phrase points to the persuasive power that statistics have in supporting weak arguments. Conversely, mastering statistics is a fundamental requirement of many sciences. In this episode, host, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper, interviews Dr. Russell Ramsay of the University of Pennsylvania around ADHD statistics. The diagnosis of ADHD is on the rise. What does this mean? Are we over-diagnosing? Or was ADHD under-diagnosed to begin with and we are just catching up? Could it be that ADHD symptoms lie on a continuum and those on the fringe who could get by without a diagnosis and medication in the past now need them in our changing social culture? Or is the rise attributed to gaming the system in the black market to divert stimulant medication to the street? What impact will the new DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) have on rates of diagnosis? Get the answers and more in this interview. If you are confused by ADHD statistics, join us as we pay attention to what the numbers pay attention to.
