...What was not considered at any length in the Treasury presentation is how fast the money can be moved onto bank balance sheets and into facilities that can free up consumer and business spending. The phase used is always "immediately", but that may be a long time depending on the flexibility of the bureaucracy that has to handle the funds...
...Monday evening. When I stepped off of my train, Union Station was swarming with people, completely transformed from the last and only time I had ever been in Washington, D.C., four years ago. It was 9:40 PM, and the place was a hub of activity: women in floor-length coats, college-age kids milling around, and swarms of police guarding gates. I had made it. I had packed up my room at Harvard two days before, spent less than 24 hours at home, and now had made my dream of being in Washington D.C. to see this inauguration come...
...economy is entering a two-layoff cycle. Managements examined their 2009 prospects late last year and prepared layoffs based on their knowledge that the current year would be rough.

On Masalabari, the most stable of the char islands, huge concrete cylinders that will form the base of a 53/4-mile (9.3 km) length of fence are lined up on the sand. The Central Public Works Department carried them out by boat during the summer monsoon, when water levels were high enough to transport heavy equipment, and they will eventually support the fencing that will separate the Indian side of the island from Bangladesh...
