Debate Begins on Obama Consumer Protection Plan
from MSN
If only someone in government had been looking out for consumers, the subprime mortgage mess might never have happened. That theory is driving President Barack Obama's call for the creation of a new office within the federal government – a Consumer Financial Protection Agency. It would be dedicated to looking out for consumers as they do mortgage, credit card and other business with financial institutions.

Unemployment Probably Rose at Slower Pace
from Bloomberg
Unemployment in the U.S. probably rose at a slower pace and the manufacturing slump eased this month as evidence mounted that the end of recession is in view, economists said. The jobless rate rose 0.2 percentage point to 9.6 percent, the highest level in 26 years, according to the median of 58 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. The gain would be the smallest since November 2008. A survey of purchasing managers may show manufacturing shrank at the mildest pace in 10 months. More
