Bill Neff was puzzled at the message a young man left on his phone last week. The caller, who said he was from the Family Policy Institute of Washington, told him, "Our records indicate that you're not yet registered to vote in Washington," then advised him to go to the institute's Web site, where he could register online. Neff called the Clark County elections office, which confirmed what he already knew: he had been registered to vote in the county since 1988.

WASHINGTON, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The AARP Public Policy Institute study "Valuing the Invaluable: The Growing Contributions and Costs of Family Caregiving, 2011 Update" points up the dramatic need for quick and effective implementation of the CLASS Program. The study concludes that American families provide $450 billion worth of care to their adult parents and other loved ones in 2009. Families bear this burden nobly, but this cannot be sustained as the baby boom generation enters retirement and will need care. The CLASS Program, a new long term services and supports option in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), will provide essential financial relief to families in crisis," said Connie Garner, executive director of advanceCLASS. "We look forward to working with the Obama...

As defined, "living wage" is an annual income (or the equivalent hourly wage) that would enable a person working full-time (or 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year) to meet their family's basic needs. The Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, derives the basic family budget through the estimation of annual costs of a family's "basic needs." These basic needs, adjusted for the costs in a given locality, consist of the combined annual costs of housing, food, childcare, health care, transportation, taxes, and other necessities. By the institute's determination, when divided by full-time work, a living wage as of January 2006 would be $10.72. Despite the seemingly booming economy of the last few years, the gap between the rich and the poor in the U.S. has increased, and the L...

According to a report by the Economic Policy Institute, jobs that once paid enough to sustain a family now place that same family in poverty. The EPI reports that wages today are 24 percent lower in value than they were in 1979. Meaning that workers have less buying power than they did in past years. While wages have been stagnant, prices for food, gas, college tuition and health care have skyrocketed. Certainly the increase in the cost of life's essentials is another reason we can't feel the so-called economic recovery.
