Europe is fully committed to depression and an end to the Euro.
A vigorously growing economy is far more important than a balanced budget.

Reinventing the Manufacturing Industry - Room for Debate
The national debate needs to move away from protectionism and retention efforts to regional, place-based development strategies.Kate Sofis Knows a lot of jargon.The prime driver of manufacturing is demand. Demand in the form of customers with money to exchange for product. At the moment there are no customers. The people who would be customers have no disposable income. Reinventing the Manufacturing industries will not make a customer base until people are getting paid more than they must spend. -

Obama Should Raise the Debt Ceiling on His Own
“Obama Should Raise the Debt Ceiling on His Own - http://nyti.ms/pkfgKb - OK Mr. Pres. time to stop the talking and start acting.”If Obama had done that he would own the economy. As it stands He does not. The price of his election to a second term is very high.

Study Rethinks Importance of Kindergarten Teachers
“Study Rethinks Importance of Kindergarten Teachers - http://nyti.ms/aqkrEU”"By junior high and high school, children who had excellent early schooling do little better on tests than similar children who did not"
Tests sample the child's mind. Tests do not reveal the test taker's world view.Early childhood education operates on the world view.

Meat: Why Bother?
“Reinspires me to stay a weekday vegetartian --> Bittman's Meat: Why Bother? - http://nyti.ms/mwfF0D”"In limited quantities, meat is just fine, especially sustainably raised meat (and wild game), locally and ethically produced dairy and eggs, the remaining wild or decently cultivated fish.No matter where we live, if we focused on those — none of which are in abundant supply, which is exactly the point — and used them to augment the kind of diet we’re made to eat, one based on plants as a staple, with these other things as treats, we’d all be better off. We can’t afford to wait to evolve."I can try to live like this. I am doing better.
