...hear constant political debate about these other stimulus efforts? Presumably because they were the result of bipartisan legislation or were the doing of the nonpartisan Fed. That is to say, the Obama Administration can't take full credit for the bulk of the stimulus, and the Republicans can't disown it. So neither side talks much about it. Over the coming year these other forms of stimulus will - one hopes - be ratcheted back, while stimulus-bill spending will peak.

"If they haven't changed or don't want to change, it's much easier for these fighters to fall back into their former lifestyle," says Mariana...
Networks use the data Nielsen gathers during each period to set local advertising rates; national rates, which comprise the bulk of TV ad revenue, are set separately and based on year-round data from select families.
