But Washington's tool kit doesn't work nearly as well in the short run. Right now companies aren't hiring for a very specific reason: there's not as much demand for their products and services. Callous as it may sound, high unemployment at the front end of an economic recovery is perfectly normal. (See TIME's special feature, "Out of Work in America...

The City of David and the Old City are located in predominantly Arab East Jerusalem, which was captured by Israel from Jordan during the war of 1967, although its right to sovereignty over that portion of the city is not recognized by the international community. The Oslo Accords of 1993, aimed at creating two states, designated Jerusalem a "final status" issue for negotiation between Israel and the Palestinians, and it has been a working assumption of all peace efforts since that...
