At least 32 protesters were killed around the country, including more than 20 in the capital of Damascus. In a significant show of the uprising's strength, thousands of demonstrators turned out in Damascus, which had seen only scattered protests. Until now, much of the dissent against Assad has been in impoverished, remote areas. "This is the heart of the regime," David Schenker, director of the Program on Arab Politics at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told The Associated Press.

Twitter Status. Lieberman: Medicare Will Go Broke and ‘Take Our Government Down With It’ (CNSNews.com) – When unveiling a proposal to reform Medicare alongside Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) warned that the entitlement program will eventually “go broke” and lead to a “fiscal disaster” for the United States.
“Each Medicare enrollee will on the average take almost three times more out in Medicare benefits than they contribute in payroll taxes and premiums,” Lieberman said during a press conference at the Capitol on Tuesday. “That’s why we say that the status quo of Medicare is unsustainable. And what we mean is that if we do nothing, Medicare will go broke and take our government down with it.” Senators Coburn and Lieberman claim their proposal would save more than $600 billion over 10 years and reduce Medicare’s 75-year unfunded liabilities by about $10 trillion.
Their plan also would require wealthier Americans to pay for more of their Medicare benefits out of pocket. President Hosted Unscheduled ‘DNC Event’ at White House, Visitor Logs Reveal.
