		<description><![CDATA[Let me get this straight.  Conservative budget balancers say that we can&#8217;t afford Social Security.  This weekend marks the program&#8217;s 75th anniversary. The &#8220;anti&#8217;s&#8221; say it&#8217;s past time to phase it out. End socialism in the U.S.! If you&#8217;re old and poor, your kids should take you in. Harumph.

A reader emailed to ask about the federal tax implications. “In my state, the banks send a notice saying that you owe taxes on the unpaid debt,” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The summer wedding season isn&#8217;t just for the young. Plenty of older couples are marrying, too, which raises the rigors of the pre-nuptial agreement.
I was a widow when I remarried two Junes ago and can testify that pre-nups aren&#8217;t for sissies. They&#8217;re essential when each of you has children from a previous marriage to protect. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Consumers won. Banks lost. That summarizes the consumer piece of the financial reform bill.
On the other part of the bill that affects individuals, my verdict flips. Investors lost, Wall Street won.
Taking the consumer side first, color me thrilled that Congress created a potentially strong Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. When President Obama proposed it last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For all the anger about taxes, you’d think that rates had never been so high. In fact, it’s the reverse. They’ve rarely been this low. The median income family of four, earning $75,594, will pay only 4.6 percent of its total income in federal income taxes, after taking exemptions, deductions and tax credits. Last year [...]]]></description>

The reconciliation effort&#8211;odds and ends of the House and Senate compromise&#8211;still has to run some roadblocks in the Senate, but soon we&#8217;ll have a national program for covering the uninsured. The major provisions don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Some of you have asked me whether the recent tragedy&#8211;a deranged taxpayer crashing his plane into an IRS building&#8211; might have burned up their paperwork. The answer is no. The IRS doesn&#8217;t process tax returns or issue refunds from that particular building, so nothing [...]]]></description>

The investment banks that made billions of dollars leveraging these loans for fees. The commercial banks that drowned you in credit-card fees and abusive subprime cards. They ran the economy over the cliff, taking your jobs and savings with them. [...]]]></description>

About 10 years ago, he told me that he could get me in with a particularly astute investment manager. “There are no home runs,” he said. “Just a steady 10 to 20 percent a year.” Naturally, my ears pricked up.

		<description><![CDATA[I never thought it would happen. On New Year’s Day, the estate tax goes away. If it stays away, as Republicans want, it will cost the taxpayer $1.3 trillion, over the 10 years starting in 2012. That’s 55 percent more than the Senate health care bill is expected to cost, and benefits only the uber-rich.
