...particular subsidy bolsters hefty benefits negotiated by their union allies, Democrats overlook the inequity. "It's ironic and embarrassing," says Len Nichols, a former Clinton health official now at the New America Foundation. Farsighted Democrats admit as much. Andy Stern, the leader of the Service Employees International Union, and Jim McDermott, a doctor and a Democrat from Seattle on the Ways and Means Committee, tell me that if universal health coverage were being discussed, they would revisit the sacred tax exclusion as a way to help fund...

Jim O'Neill, London-based head of global economic research for Goldman Sachs, says that even if the U.S. economy remains soft for much of the year, "we're pretty confident that the rest of the world will withstand it."
