In Oregon, Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22, shot people at a Portland mall, killing Steven Forsyth, 45, and Cindy Yuille, 54, injuring another.

The plan targets income brackets from under 25 000 to over 113 000 and includes a mixed formula of price and wage adjustments.

White House silent on raising Medicare eligibility age
Democrats urge Obama to oppose a phased increase from 65 to 67, arguing 270,000 seniors would lose coverage and out-of-pocket costs would rise.
