...Where there's a vacuum of information, the loudest voices fill the gap. As does confusion. As does suspicion. If those things are hobbling us from making vital decisions right now, then it's time for the business press to step...
...Democrats are having none of this tale of woe. As far as they're concerned the GOP's platform of deregulation is what caused this problem, and it's a GOP President - however unpopular - who is demanding this fix. They view Boehner's stance with deep suspicion. If enough Republicans did not support the bill, why, they ask, did Republican Senator Bob Bennett and Representative Spencer Bachus, the top Republican on the House Banking Committee, stand at the press conference on Thursday announcing the agreement and voice their support? Why wait until a meeting at the White House to throw...

The sparring often results in conflicting regulations, uncertain lines of authority and onerous tax burdens. Contributing to this hostile environment are corruption, a capricious legal system and local suspicion of foreign companies, which are often viewed as carpetbaggers rather than investment partners. Not that Indonesia is a complete pariah to outside investors. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased in recent years as the economy has improved. But reform is required, economists say, if Indonesia is to become more competitive...
