DEBT CEILING LOOMS. AGAIN.
Here
we go again. On Friday, the United States Treasury will lose the
ability to issue new net debt. That’s a problem: It is tax season, and
the Treasury is currently sending out billions of dollars of refunds. By
the end of February or early March, the country will run out of cash
and start missing payments, unless Congress acts. Democrats and
Republicans are, for the moment, talking past one another, but are
expected to make a deal before a cash crisis hits. ANNIE LOWREY

Why the U.S. Embassy Releases Pollution Data in Beijing But Not in Delhi
A State Department representative cited the availability of such information in English in India’s capital, but doubts have been cast on the reliability of those reports.
"The United States has tended to be more sensitive to government concerns
in India, which it has assiduously wooed for more than a decade, than

power in Asia. A diplomatic kerfuffle over the arrest of an Indian
diplomat in New York City in December has also strained relations
