Childhood poverty among Hispanics sets record, leads nation
The spread of poverty across the United States that began at the onset of the Great Recession of 2007-2009 and accelerated last year hit one fast-growing demographic group especially hard: Latino children.
More Latino children are living in poverty----6.1 million in 2010----than children of any other racial or ethnic group. This marks the first time in U.S. history that the single largest group of poor children is not white. In 2010, 37.3% of poor children were Latino, 30.5% were white and 26.6% were black, according to an analysis of new data from the U.S. Census Bureau by the Pew Hispan....

1) No se ha producido ningún nuevo atentado en EEUU, pero sí en España, Reino Unido, Marruecos, Turquía, India, Indonesia, etc.
2) Afganistán, Iraq y ahora Libia han sido bombardeaos o invadidos. EEUU logró remover allí gobiernos hostiles pero generando una creciente resistencia armada.

Stimulus smoke and mirrors
Administration economists and officials keep touting the multiplier effects from additional government spending. Extended unemployment benefits generate more than a dollar’s worth of activity in the economy. More agricultural subsidies will pump up economic growth.
This is macroeconomic smoke and mirrors. Why?
First, many industries have a higher output multiplier than government. For example, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the multiplier impact of a dollar spending on manufactured goods has a one-third greater impact on total output than a dollar of spending on gov....
