...what is playing out in the U.S. If you look at the three great job busts of the past 100 years - the 1930s, the early 1980s and today - you find an important difference. The Reagan recession ended with workers returning to jobs that were the same as or similar to the ones they had lost. But 1930s joblessness was structural. The jobs people lost - largely in agriculture - never came back. Workers had to move to the industrial sector, a transition helped by the demands of a war. It was massive national hysteresis. Sound familiar? "A lot of the jobs that...
...council asked the USDA to lift the $300 spending cap on pork products for government food programs, and to spend at least an additional $150 million on pork products during fiscal year 2009; the industry also asked for $100 million to help survey herds for H1N1.

...wife, the Secretary of State, who was sitting in the front row - could tell Obama, it's best not to get too euphoric at the way a speech can make the numbers jump. After all, Clinton got virtually the identical result the day after he gave a similar speech on his own health-care plan in that same spot 16 years ago. It turned out to be the high-water mark for an initiative that spent the next year in a drawn-out death spiral and that proved to be a failure that helped cost the Democrats control of Congress...
