re: Anyone with Access to the WSJ Online?

Thanks Doctor, that clears the smoke a bit. Lots of indirect references to Hilsenrath's article in op-ed pieces and discussion threads but they all assume the reader has read Hilsenrath.

This short piece by my favorite soothsayer points to lagging employment in the Federal Government as being the biggest hold-up to starting the dial back. Health care employment is still down, not surprisingly with the un- and underemployed out there, but he is confident it will recover fairly quickly.

So now we watch for full government employment. Meanwhile, it's off to the famous Bard College...

Thanks again.
