...Obama has proposed a similar plan. "We're going to put two million more Americans to work, rebuilding our crumbling roads and schools and bridges," he said last Thursday in Ohio. For those wondering how Washington can afford it, he has an answer that pleases his base, if not his budget-balancers: "If we can spend $10 billion a month in Iraq, we can spend $10 billion right here in the United States, rebuilding America...
Identifying risk factors in preschool or even earlier helps parents and school administrators step in earlier too.

There are few reasons, they say, why markets shouldn't return to a situation somewhere closer to normal - though they add there was little in macro-terms to justify their bearish frenzy last week. But following Sunday evening's agreement by the 15 leaders of euro-zone countries to accept collective rules to underwrite loans between banks and inject new capital into those facing serious trouble, hope is now rising that the situation in Europe may stabilize. Indeed, euro-group leaders used the most encouraging language they could muster...
