  3. The Cyprus confusion

    WASHINGTON -- Logically, what happens in Cyprus should stay in Cyprus. With a population of just over 1 million and an economy that's a mere 0.2 percent of the 17-nation eurozone, the country seems too small to matter on the world stage. Yet, that's where...

  5. Crisis they created catches up with Republicans

    The most ironic part of the partisan fight over the "fiscal cliff" is that, if Republicans want Barack Obama to act according to Republican principles, they should encourage the president to do nothing and simply let the country — and the Republicans — go over the cliff on Jan. 1.

  7. Why job creation is so hard

    WASHINGTON -- President Obama and Democrats want more jobs. So do Republicans. Heck, everyone does. Yet, job creation is weak. It's true that the economy has generated 5.5 million jobs from its low point. Still, there are 3.2 million fewer jobs now than at the previous high. The official unemployment rate is 7.9 percent, but it would be 14.4 percent if it included part-timers who would like full-time work and discouraged workers who have stopped looking, notes Janet Yellen, vice chair of the Federal Reserve Board. Scarce jobs are the nation's first, second and third most important economic and social problem.

  9. Column: The modern bankbuster

     WASHINGTON — With his chronically gravelly voice and relentlessly liberal agenda, Sherrod Brown seems to have stepped out of "Les Miserables," hoarse from singing revolutionary anthems at the barricades. Today, Ohio’s senior senator has a...

  10. Canada's prosperity

    I would like to respond to your editorial "Canada cool," (Feb. 4). You believe two key factors — bank regulation and stable housing market — are the keys to Canada's economic "success."  However, you failed to mention what the two countries...
