The Unkept Promise
There is a deceiving sense of timelessness to the stillness of rural life. The jungles of Mindanao offer few clues as to whether its the early 20th century, or the early 21st. Nor do the highlands of Guatemala, the Mekong Delta in Vietnam or the cotton-rich plains of the Sahel in West Africa. But these disparate regions are very much of the present, stitched into the quilt of global commerce. World trade links us to them, as surely as it links London, Tokyo and New York. In an effort to understand that relationship, we visited some of the poorest nations in the world in the last six months. We listened to 12-year-old Arnel Mamacs parents on Mindanao, the Philippine island besieged by an Islamist terrorist group, tearfully say they often dont let him walk to school because they fear he may not have the energy to make it on an empty stomach. In a cotton-growing village in Burkina Faso we saw a school with two rooms, but because of a lack of funds, only one classroom was finished. Most unsettling, to an American, is the realization that our nations agricultural policies -- its protectionist trade barriers and the billions in subsidies doled out to its own farmers -- contribute mightily to the hardships felt by poor farmers in the developing world.. Editorial in series Harvesting Poverty says American agricultural policies--its protectionist trade barriers and billions in subsidies doled out to its own farmers--contribute mightily to hardships felt by poor farmers in developing world; says US and rest of developed world funnels nearly $1 billion a day in subsidies to its own farmers, allowing farmers to dump their products on world markets at prices far below cost of production, courtesy of taxpayers; recalls failed effort by World Trade Orgn to reduce subsidies; says there has been appalling absence of American leadership; says US and European Union refuse to give up their trade-distorting farm subsidies; says next years election offers little hope because Democrats vying for presidential nomination seem to agree with Bush administration policy on this score

Washingtons Fiscal Meltdown
Before leaving town for a two-week spring break, Congress indulged in its own form of March Madness. The Republican majority in the House and the Senate passed budget blueprints for 2006 that slash domestic spending by upwards of $150 billion over the next five years. Yet they still managed to increase the projected deficit by more than $125 billion over the same period (and by more than $1 trillion through 2015). How is it possible to produce that much red ink while slashing spending? Easy. Just cut revenue by giving huge tax cuts to -- surprise, surprise -- high earners and wealthy investors. The lawmakers will not make any final decisions until they cobble their separate proposals into one official budget later in the year, but the early signs are all bad -- pointing to the least sensible tax cuts for the least needy recipients with no thought to the exploding deficit. Of all the favors they are determined to dispense, tax cutters in both the House and Senate are most intent on extending the special low tax rates for dividends and capital gains, through 2010. The preferential rates are not scheduled to expire until 2008, but lawmakers want to act now, apparently to spare their constituents worry about the future. And who are those fretful constituents? In 2005 alone, almost half of the tax savings from dividend and capital gains rate cuts will go to investors who make more than $1 million a year, the top 0.2 percent of the income ladder. Nearly three-quarters of the tax benefits will go to those making more than $200,000, about the top 3 percent. The cost to everyone else in the form of forgone revenue will be $23 billion.. Editorial notes that Republican majority in House and Senate passed budget blueprints for 2006 that slash domestic spending by $150 billion over next five years, but still increase projected deficit by over $125 billion; criticizes Republicans for cutting revenue by giving huge tax cuts to high earners and wealthy investors; says lawmakers have to agree on official budget later in year, but early signs are all bad--pointing to least sensible tax cuts for least needy recipients with no thought to exploding deficit
