...China may not want to own paper from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and it is hard to blame the communist central government in the big Asian country for that. The U.S. is still viewed as unique in both the size of its GDP and its potential to maintain impressive economic growth rates over long periods of time, in large part because of its vast pool of consumers.

Topolanek says he does not want to maintain a caretaker government until June, when Sweden takes over the E.U. presidency. If none of the candidates for the new prime minister can secure a majority - a strong possibility in the split Czech parliament - early elections would have to be called, which would mean further distractions for the country supposedly shepherding the E.U.

...government says that Detroit is a "strategic" part of the economy. Saving The Big Three is as important as keeping the nation's large banks operating to maintain the flow of credit.

...devil, in other words, will be in the details. There are early indications that Obama will have to sacrifice more of his own "worthy priorities" to maintain a responsible budget. For weeks, Obama's economic advisers have been repeating the mantra that times of crises are times of opportunity. It is a thesis well founded in Keynsian economics, since the federal government has great incentives to stimulate the economy by taking on more debt during downturns. About a month ago, a senior administration official explained the dynamic this way. "It's actually easier to do expansive economic policy...
