	<description><![CDATA[Joining a nationwide trend, a majority of Atlanta’s 12 largest publicly traded companies are freezing traditional pension plans for tens of thousands of employees, replacing them with 401(k)s or switching to other retirement plans that are generally cheaper. For many of the companies, which include Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines and SunTrust Banks, the recession and financial crisis have been a major factor in the move. They have seen the total value of their pension plans slashed by the economic downturn, leaving them underfunded by billions of dollars that must be made up over the next several years.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[One day before Americans stopped to celebrate the sacrifices of those 56 original patriots who risked their lives and livelihoods to declare their independence from the global power that ensnared the people of this new land, Milledgeville's Congressman reached out to those modern day patriots whose sacrifices have ensured that this nation will never be ensnared again. Congressman John Barrow, D-12th District, made a stop in Milledgeville Friday to meet with constituents and area veterans on his annual Veterans Town Hall Tour. About 65 people filled American Legion Post 523 on Martin Luther King Drive to hear Barrow talk about veterans' issues unfolding in the nation's capital and to ask him about his stances on national issues that affect constituents on the local level.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, optimistic California can finish its budget negotiations in a few days, is willing to reconsider his proposed cuts to education in hopes of averting a cash crisis, the San Francisco Chronicle said on Saturday. A compromise between the Republican governor and Democratic lawmakers may help clear the way for an agreement on an overdue state budget and avert a cash crisis for the government of the most populous U. S. state. California already is issuing billions of dollars in "IOUs" and, without a deal, is on track to run out of cash this month.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[-- Seniors enrolled in Medicare's prescription drug program are spending more at the pharmacy with the government's assistance, as expected, but that doesn't always mean less spending on pricier hospital stays and doctor visits, a Pennsylvania study has found. For seniors who had no drug coverage or poor coverage before the Medicare drug benefit started in 2006, there was an overall rise in the number of prescriptions filled and a drop in hospitalizations and doctor visits. But those who already had adequate coverage spent more on both prescriptions and medical services after their Medicare Part D benefit kicked in, according to the study in the New England Journal of Medicine.]]></description>
