A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three- year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week: Chapter 7 Kristin Brooke Hiett, 58 Forever Wild Lane, Oxford Dale Bowen, 2001 Coleman Road, Anniston Kimberley Thrower, 145 Virginia Ave., Oxford Chevez A.

WASHINGTON — Reducing govern-ment deficits Mitt Romney’s way would mean less money for health care for the poor and disabled and big cuts to nuts-and-bolts functions such as food inspec-tion, border security and education.

Romney also promises budget increas-es for the Pentagon, above those sought by some GOP defense hawks, meaning that the rest of the government would have to shrink even more. Non-military programs would incur still larger cuts than those called for in the tightfisted GOP budget that the House passed last month.

Differences over the government’s bud-get and spiraling deficits are among the starkest that separate Republican Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama. Obama’s budget generally avoids risk, with minimal cuts to rapidly growing health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid while socking wealthier people with tax increases. It’s all part of an effort to close trillion-dollar-plus deficits.

Romney, by contrast, proposes broad cuts in government spending, possibly overpromising on reductions that even a Congress stuffed with conservatives might find hard to deliver.

His campaign materials give relatively few specifics, other than a pledge to bring total government spending down to 20 percent of the U.S. economy by the end of a first term in 2016. That is roughly in line with where it was during Republican George W. Bush’s presidency.

The math can get fuzzy. But the Romney campaign says it needs to come up with $500 billion in cuts in 2016, the target year. Overall, Romney promises to shrink the government by about one-seventh when compared against the size of the economy.

The GOP front-runner suggests rais-ing the Social Security retirement age and reducing cost-of-living increases for better-off retirees.

Because Romney promises to pro-tect current Social Security and Medicare recipients from cuts, he cannot get much savings from those programs by 2016.

So what’s left to cut?• MEDICAID: The program now pro-

vides health care for about 50 million mostly poor and disabled people, includ-ing nursing home care for 7 of 10 patients nationwide. Obama’s health care law sharply would sharply boost Medicaid enrollment to cover more people above the poverty line, a move that Romney promises to repeal.

Like House Republicans, Romney promises to transform Medicaid into block grants for states and shed federal super-vision of it. He would cap the program’s annual growth to inflation plus a percent-age point. His campaign says the approach would unshackle states to innovate and, by the end of a decade, cut costs by more than $200 billion a year.

Advocates for the poor say the inevi-table result will be that millions of people will be bounced from the program. An Urban Institute study last year estimated that Ryan’s cuts would force between 14 million and 27 million people off of Medic-aid by 2021. Romney’s budget would make deeper cuts.

• DOMESTIC AGENCY BUDGETS: If Social Security is mostly off the table and current Medicare beneficiaries are pro-tected, domestic Cabinet agency budgets would take a major hit in ways that could fundamentally alter government. The future growth of those discretionary pro-grams funded through annual appropria-tions bills was already cut greatly in last year’s deal to raise the government’s bor-rowing limit.

At issue are these programs, just to name a few: health research; NASA; transporta-tion; homeland security; education; food inspection; housing and heating subsidies for the poor; food aid for pregnant women; the FBI; grants to local governments; national parks; and veterans’ health care.

Romney promises to immediately cut them by 5 percent. But they would have to be cut more than 20 percent to meet his overall budget goals, assuming veter-ans’ health care is exempted. It’s almost unthinkable that lawmakers would go along with cuts of such magnitude for air traffic control and food inspection or to agencies like NASA, the FBI, Border Patrol and the Centers for Disease Control.

“It’s just not sustainable,” said GOP lob-byist Jim Dyer, a former staff director for the House Appropriations Committee. “What do you want to do with the national parks? Which ones do you want to close? ...The only way it adds up is if you go after the big, popular stuff, and nobody talks about that now.”

• OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS: Like Ryan’s budget, the Romney plan would also cut benefit programs other than Social Security and Medicare. They include food stamps, school lunches, crop subsidies, Supplemental Security Income for very poor seniors and disabled people, unem-ployment insurance, veterans’ pensions and refundable tax credits to the working poor.

WASHINGTON — The improving economy is swinging the pendulum in President Barack Obama’s favor in the 14 states where the presidential election will likely be decided.

Recent polls have shown Obama gaining an edge over his likely Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in several so-called swing states — those that are con-sidered up for grabs.

What’s made the differ-ence is that unemployment has dropped more sharply in several swing states than in the nation as a whole. A resurgence in manufactur-ing is helping the economy — and Obama’s chances — in the industrial Mid-western states of Ohio and Michigan.

And Arizona, Nevada and Florida, where unem-ployment remains high, are getting some relief from an uptick in tourism.

“The biggest reason for the president’s improv-ing prospects probably is the economy,” says Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

The Great Recession of 2007-2009 hit several swing states particularly hard. Unemployment peaked at 14.2 percent in Michigan, where the auto industry faced ruin. It also hit double digits in Arizona, Nevada and Florida, which were at

the center of the housing bust, and in North Carolina, which lost jobs in textile and furniture plants.

In 2010, the economic misery helped Republicans retake control of the House and gain seats in the Senate. But the GOP can’t count on a repeat when voters return to the polls — with much more at stake — on Nov. 6.

After an agonizingly slow recovery, several swing-state economies are finally accelerating:

• The job market is improving in Michigan and Ohio. In Michigan, unem-ployment fell to 8.5 percent in March from 10.5 percent in March 2011. And in Ohio, it dropped to 7.5 percent from 8.8 percent over the same period, putting it well below the national average of 8.2 percent. A Fox News poll released Friday showed Obama leading Romney 45 percent to 39 percent among registered voters in Ohio.

Many blue-collar work-ers in Ohio and Michigan credit the federal bailout of General Motors and Chrysler for saving tens of thousands of auto industry jobs, says Paul Allen Beck, a political science profes-sor at Ohio State University. The bailout began under President George W. Bush, but Obama expanded it. “There’s a feeling the admin-istration went out of its way to protect jobs that are very important,” Beck said.

• In Florida, unemploy-ment tumbled to 9 percent

in March from 10.7 percent a year earlier. That was more than twice the nation-wide drop of 0.7 percentage point (from 8.9 percent to 8.2 percent) over the same period. A rise in tourism is helping. “People who put off vacations or a trip to Dis-ney World for two or three years got to the point where they feel safe in terms of financial security to finally take those trips,” says Sean Snaith, director of the Uni-versity of Central Florida’s Institute for Economic Competitiveness.

• Even Nevada, a focal point of the real estate collapse, has seen some improvement: Unemploy-ment dropped to 12 percent in March from 13.6 percent a year earlier.

• Unemployment is down over the past year in the 10 other states the Asso-ciated Press identifies as swing states: Arizona, Colo-rado, Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylva-nia, Virginia and Wiscon-sin.

Still, political analysts caution that voter sentiment — not to mention economic momentum — can turn fast. A month before the most recent polling, for instance, Obama was running behind or neck-and-neck with Romney in battleground states.

“The election is not today; it is seven months away,” Quinnipiac’s Brown said.
