  4. Economy grew at 2.4% annual rate in first quarter

    WASHINGTON -- The U.S. economy expanded at a slightly slower pace in the first three months of the year than originally estimated, as steeper government spending cutbacks and reduced private investment dragged on growth. The Commerce Department on...

  6. Federal deficit shrinks at surprising rate

    WASHINGTON &mdash; The federal deficit is shrinking more quickly than expected, and the government's long-term debt has largely stabilized for the next decade, the <a href="http://www.cbo.gov/publication/44172">Congressional Budget Office said</a> Tuesday in a report that could strengthen the Obama administration's hand in the budget battles with congressional Republicans.

    SACRAMENTO &mdash; State Capitol politicians may have an extra $3.2 billion to play with. Or they may not.
    SACRAMENTO — State Capitol politicians may have an extra $3.2 billion to play with. Or they may not. It depends on whose figures you believe: nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor's or contrarian Gov. Jerry Brown's. I tend to have more...

  9. The wrong way for Washington to avoid defaulting

    It's rare that the president explicitly pledges to veto a bill -- usually, the White House says the president's advisors would "recommend" a veto -- but that's what <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/legislative/sap/113/saphr807r_20130507.pdf">happened</a> Tuesday. The measure in question is HR 807, the Full Faith and Credit Act, by California Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Rocklin), which the House is expected to take up this week.

  10. First, fix the tax code

    The federal government is expected to hit its statutory credit limit later this month, setting the stage for yet another battle between the Obama administration and the House GOP over raising the debt ceiling. Republican leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee <a href="http://lat.ms/18q649d">reportedly</a> want something new in return for raising the limit: an agreement to simplify the tax code and reduce rates. Lawmakers should know by now that it's self-destructive to play games with the debt ceiling, and that the brinkmanship that characterizes contemporary Washington politics needs to stop. On the other hand, reforming the tax code is a goal both parties can and should embrace.

  12. To create jobs, the U.S. must spend

    Just before the congressional spring break, a Senate budget proposal to decrease, but not eliminate, the deficit over 10 years was denounced as "pro debt" by an Alabama senator. It was the kind of proud and loud anti-deficit rhetoric that, no matter how nonsensical, plays nicely into Washington group-think on the subject.
