...Europeans have a real love-hate relationship with the two airlines, which offer some of the lowest fares around Europe, but have become infamous for their bare-bones service and exorbitant add-on fees. The numbers suggest that travelers have been happy enough to continue flying with them - their annual passenger load has increased dramatically from a combined 13 million customers in 2000 to more than 100 million today. But passenger complaints have spiked in recent years, too. Since 2005, Ryanair's complaints have increased by 70% and easyJet's are up by a third, according to a report released...
...financed by a $230 million bond offering from Bear Sterns. That bond is now being handled by JP Morgan following the collapse of Bear Sterns in the 2008 global financial crisis. "Without Trump, we would have lost our shirt," Khafif admits. Since then, more than 2,000 construction workers add a new floor each week, silencing many of the earlier skeptics who claimed the project would never get off the ground...
...Even so, there is a clear trend emerging: tomorrow's jobs will require people to add more value than ever before. Consider Samsung's only semiconductor-fabrication plant outside South Korea, which sits in northeast Austin. Since the fall, the factory, which makes flash memory for devices like smart phones and iPods, has been undergoing a $500 million upgrade.

...cuts for businesses that hire - and then retain - workers will likely wind up doing more of the same. No businessman in his right mind is going to add the long-term liability of a worker simply for the short-term benefit of a tax break. On the other hand, such incentives may accelerate some hiring that would have eventually happened anyway, and that would put more money into consumers' pockets faster. Of course, extra spending and tax cuts contribute to the $1.5 trillion federal deficit, and that drags on the economy. (See "How High Could the U.S. Tax Rate...
...Temporarily increase payments to primary care providers who care for Medicaid payments. Democratic reform would add some 15 million people to the Medicaid rolls, and critics have said this will strain doctors already buckling under Medicaid reimbursement rates, which are substantially lower than what private insurance pays. In 2013 and 2014, this provision would pay primary care providers the same reimbursement rates as Medicare, which falls in between Medicaid payment rates and private insurance. The House package would also increase federal funding to states for Medicaid. (See what health care reform really means...
