White House Denies Shelving Budget Deficit Warning. The White House on Thursday denied suppressing a report that projects the U.S. government faces a long-term budget deficit of more than $44 trillion. By Reuters. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

This isn't a surprise - hardly a day passes without further evidence that the large corporations and mega rich in this country are growing fatter and more powerful by the day thanks to their stooge, Boy George.  It's the politics of greed.

Dear Craig:

Here is a precis of the War and Peace Watch for you:
********************************

The War and Peace Watch provides, through the web site and a series of
daily e-mailings, carefully selected pieces from the international press,
web sites, and a variety of reputable sources not often read in the US. The
newsletter began at the time of the invasion of Iraq and focused on
providing objective and thorough coverage of the war as well as other
disquieting activities of our government.

Since then, the newsletter's focus has widened somewhat. It continues to
report on the role of the media in times of combat and social unrest, civil
liberties, and the situation in Iraq.  Given the continued expansion of
American involvement in the Middle East, the newsletter will be keeping an
even sharper eye on Bush and the neo-conservatives.

If you'd like to receive the mailing, please email Otoño Johnston at
reikiworks@compuserve.com. Please include your name, email address, and
your city and state or country.

*******************************
Thanks so much.
Best wishes,
Otoño
