  1. EU calls for 'banking union' to ease crisis

    The European Union's executive office said the 17-country Eurozone needs a "banking union" that can centrally oversee and — if needed — bail out the sector, which has become a weak link in the continent's financial system. Fears that the cost...

  7. Would Romney really cut spending on 'Day One'?

    Mitt Romney has a <a href=&quot;http://www.mittromney.com/videos">new ad</a> out, touting what he'll do on his first day as president. "Day One," the narrator intones, "President Romney announces deficit reductions, ending the Obama era of big government."

  8. Put a lid on debt ceiling debate

    Last year's tussle over increasing the federal debt limit showed Congress at its worst, paralyzed by dueling ideologies and incapable of striking a grand bargain. The eventual compromise by lawmakers and the White House raised the debt ceiling enough to last until the end of 2012 or early 2013, giving voters a chance to shuffle the deck in Washington before the next round of negotiations. House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), however, has been calling on Congress to <a href=&quot;http://lat.ms/K9hi59">take up the issue</a> before the election, saying Congress <a href="http://lat.ms/JmsfiO">shouldn't wait</a> He's got a point, but the debt ceiling bill is the wrong place for that debate.

  9. Can Congress steer us away from the fiscal cliff? Don't bet on it

    Although Mitt Romney wants to focus on jobs and economic growth, the House GOP leadership seems determined to make the coming election a referendum on the federal budget. That's a debate at least some Democrats believe is a winner for them as well: It's an opportunity to talk about Republicans' unwillingness to raise taxes on &quot;millionaires and billionaires." It's also a chance to try to define the Republicans' approach in a newly unflattering way: "austerity."

  11. Romney ad: Lots of flash, little substance

    Presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney's &quot;Day One" ads, whose second installment was launched this week, do manage to grab its audience by the guts: By focusing on the deficit, unfair Chinese trading practices and job-killing federal regulations (three topics that no doubt ranked high in internal polls of Americans' top economic concerns), Romney aims to solidify his position as the candidate who knows and cares most about economic issues. It's too bad he has so little to say about them. On our relevancy meter, this one is Debatable.
