- Michael Tomasky: Why are student loans in the health bill?
Yesterday, when I mentioned the student-loan provisions of HCR with regard to the reconciliation process, several of you commented, what are student-loan changes doing in the health bill anyway?The fact is that many big bills end up with other things attached to them. A big bill that people think is going to pass is just an irresistible target for legislators: hey, that thing is going to pass, and the vote will really be about A, so if I can get a provision about B or C or D attached to it, it'll sail through cuz no one's going to vote against the whole thing just because of my little provision.Happens all the time -- and yes, in this case, on both sides. It just so happens that student loan reform has been a big priority of the Obama administration.Under it, private lenders will be out of the student loan business. All the lending will be issued and managed directly by the Department of Education. Proof of Obama's mad hunger to have the government control every aspect of our lives?Either that, or a sensible response to the massive and hideous student loan scandal we've had in this country in recent years. Here's what happened in a nutshell, via the New America Foundation:The roots of the 9.5 student loan case go back to the 1980s when Congress guaranteed non-profit lenders, which use tax-exempt bonds to finance their loans, a minimum rate of return of 9.5 percent on federal student loans made with these bonds. As interest rates on all other student loans fell in the 1990s, policymakers became concerned that these nonprofit student loan providers were making a killing. So in 1993, Congress rescinded that policy, but grandfathered in loans made from the old bonds, believing that the volume of 9.5 loans would decline as they were paid off and the bonds retired.Instead, be 昨日、私が和解のプロセスに関しては、あなたのコメント、いくつかの学生の国際福祉機器の貸出規定のように、どの学生ローンの変更は、保健法案でとにかく元気ですか？実際には、多くの大きな法案を他のものを添付して終了です彼らに

- Merkel's future hangs on vote for president

- Germany: too weak, too strong | Martin Kettle
Divided over its commitment to the eurozone, riven by the resignation of its president, Germany is a nation set against itselfTalleyrand once said that the problem with Russia is that it is always both too weak and too strong at the same time. After the upheavals in the eurozone over the Greek bailout and now the resignation of the country's president over military policy, is the same now true of Germany?Germany's position as primus inter pares in both the eurozone and the European Union always underscores her economic and political strength. The bailout for the Greeks boiled down to whether the Germans, inevitably, were prepared to take on the lion's share of the loans. In the end, in last month's fractious Bundestag vote, they did so. But German taxpayers, who (the British often forget) have spent most of the last 20 years bearing the cost of the economic rescue of East Germany, are fed up of spending so much of their money on bailouts for others. Last month's Land election in North Rhine-Westphalia proved there is no political reward to be harvested from good deeds for others. The crisis has left Angela Merkel weakened and with few good options. As a result Germany has one large party, the CDU, which vacillates about doing the right thing and is punished, and another, more diminished party, the SPD, which would once have been ready to do the right thing but is now more interested in profiting from voter anger – as its ringing abstention in the Bundestag over Greece proved.A similar uncertainty runs through the saga of President Horst 。öhler's resignation this week. All 。öhler actually said in his controversial radio interview was that a large economic power like Germany, with its major export interests (Germany has been the world's biggest exporter, though its positi ユーロへの取り組みで、その大統領の辞任により分割された、ドイツ国家itselfTalleyrandに対して設定されて分割後、ロシアの問題は、それが常に両方すぎる強者と弱者と同じ時のものですだ

- Euro's existential dilemma strains European unity
Viability of euro is in the interest of economic powerhouses of US and China as the debt crisis hinders global economic recoveryIs the dream of the single European currency descending into the nightmare of disintegration? The idea would have been unthinkable even a few short months ago. But as German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted as she tried to muster support for the EU rescue package in the Bundestag, the euro faces an existential test.In the decade after its birth, it seemed to confound the critics who argued such diverse economies could not be yoked together.Nations such as Portugal, Spain and Greece – which only a few decades previously had been underdeveloped political dictatorships – appeared to have been put on the fast track to prosperity.Much of the success, however, was illusory. The euro was fine as a boom-time construct but the Greek crisis has shone a spotlight on deep structural faultlines.The most basic flaw is that the single currency is a halfway house. Monetary policy, which determines exchange rates and borrowing costs, is in the hands of the European Central Bank, but fiscal policy – control of tax and public spending – remains with national governments. That meant countries such as Greece, Spain and Portugal were able to benefit from interest rates tailored to thrifty German exporters while ignoring the need for a corresponding Teutonic fiscal discipline, squandering their single currency dividend on spending and asset-price booms rather than improving their competitiveness.The tensions have pushed the eurozone into frightening new territory, but breaking up at this point would be a nuclear option. It is true that weaker nations could exit the euro and reintroduce a devalued national currency to boost their exports, but any benefit from that wo ユーロの生存は、債務危機は、米国と中国の経済大国の利益にあるグローバル経済recoveryIsを欧州単一通貨崩壊の悪夢に降順の夢を阻害？アイデアは想像を絶するもほんの数ヶ月前にされていると思います
