Dumping has also been valuable for Tennessee's Bouldin Corp. In 2003 the firm began taking Warren County garbage and converting it to what Bouldin calls "fluff." That's household trash ground up, with the metals removed, and heated so it's inert. Fluff is used as a peat substitute. Bouldin's new landfill project is expected to swing to profitability after it launches its first durable products next year: landscape timber and building blocks made from trash. "A few years down the line, we'll wonder why we ever put this stuff in the ground," says marketing manager Terry...

Employment of certain types of immigrants—namely, women who serve as household laborers—can free up native skilled workers to contribute positively...
...Consumption has lagged. That's because household income has stagnated, due to wage austerity, the rise of part-time and temporary workers, and near-zero interest rates. Total private-sector consumer income (wages, interest, self-employed income, etc.) was lower in 2004 (the latest year for which figures are available) than in 1997. The main source of any income growth has been government transfer payments, such as social security and health care, but these programs are being cut back to reduce the budget deficit. As households have dipped into their savings, so consumption has lagged. The household-savings rate...
