  1. Here's what Obama failed to say during debate

    The identifying characteristic of progressives' syndrome, which I believe psychiatrists have been following since the Truman administration, is their defensiveness about their own policies when they're challenged by Big Business and other stalwarts of the status quo.

  4. Enormous student loans paint parents into a corner

    <strong>Dear Liz:</strong> My husband and I took out more than $200,000 in federal parent PLUS loans to pay for our two daughters' college educations. My husband earned over $300,000 when the loans were made. Since then, he lost his job and now makes $100,000. I went back to work and earn $35,000. We finally succeeded in getting a more affordable mortgage, but we are taking about $3,000 out of our savings each month to pay the bills.

  8. Central issues of Election 2012

    Whoever wins the presidential election in November will confront urgent problems: Should tax cuts scheduled to expire be renewed?

After one of the hottest summers on record, has the time come for the U.S. to adopt policies to slow climate change? Have sanctions against Iran impeded its nuclear program, and if not, does that make a military strike necessary? What to do about immigration?

  10. Retirement savings, paying off toxic debt should be priorities

    <strong>Dear Liz:</strong> I have read tons of books on finance and debt repayment, but I'm having trouble deciding what to do next. My husband and I are 52.
