After that the eligibility age would increase two months a year for several years until it hits 70 years of age for everybody born in 1975 or after.

The reductions of up to 47,000 troops from the Army and Marine Corps
forces — roughly 6 percent shrinkage — would be the first since the
terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, reversing the trend ever since. They

Tyner says he was then escorted back to the American Airlines ticket counter, where the airline refunded his money, but he says that wasn’t the end of it: He says he was threatened with a civil lawsuit, but he left anyway.

Rather than calling for the elimination of all $1.1 trillion in tax breaks imbedded in the tax code, the panel suggests adding back the mortgage interest deduction for primary residences, the exemption for employer-provided health insurance, the child tax credit and tax breaks for charitable giving and retirement savings.

WHAT’S YOUR IDEA?
Paul Behe, a paralegal specialist for the Department of Homeland Security in Cleveland, wants the government to use the Internet to notify the public about property it has seized. Right now, it’s done through newspaper advertising.
Food inspector Marjorie Cook of Michigan wants express shipping for food containers to be a one-way ticket. There’s no need to continue the current policy of express shipping the empty boxes back.
Trudy Givens of Wisconsin, a Bureau of Prisons employee, believes the government should stop the daily mailing of the Federal Register to 10,000 recipients. It’s already available online.
And Thomas Koenning of Colorado, who works on mine safety, would like to have mine operators and contractors report coal production and worker hours online, instead of via old fashioned mail.
