		<description><![CDATA[Gisteravond beantwoordde minister Van der Laan de &#8216;politiek gevoelige&#8217; vragen van de PVV over de kosten van migranten van 17 juli jongstleden. Of eigenlijk beantwoordde hij ze niet. In een toelichting zei de minister dat het een principekwestie was: &#8220;We berekenen ook niet de kosten Friezen.&#8221; Never mind dat de huidige discussie over de AOW-leeftijd wel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In NRC Handelsblad van afgelopen zaterdag lanceerde PvdA-voorzitter Ploumen het idee voor een erecode voor PvdA-leden. Leden die meer dan de Balkenende-norm verdienen in de publieke of private sector hoefden niet meer op een kabinetspost of ander publieke functie rekenen. Is dit de wijze waarop de PvdA haar gebrek aan politieke durf probeert te verbloemen?

		<description><![CDATA[Jort Kelder thinks that exorbitant pay packages create jobs. Despite the unfathomable rise in income inequality in the United States over the past couple of years, unemployment is expected to soar to 10 percent by the end of this year. Maybe Jort wants to elaborate a bit on his piece in NRC Handelsblad?

He was also very, very lucky.&#8221;  Ferguson was in a very public spat a few months ago with The New York Times-columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman about the feasibility of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a great piece by New York Times reporter Gretchen Morgenson. It shows that then Treasury secretary and former Goldman Sachs  CEO, Henry Paulson, contacted his successor at Goldman Sachs, Lloyd C. Blankfein, over a dozen times in the week that A.I.G. was rescued. Thirteen billion of the $ 85 bln aid for A.I.G. went straight [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Forbes-report looks at how the largest 50 cities in the U.S. rank on what&#8217;s important for working moms, including jobs, cost of living, health care, education, crime and public parks.
What works for working moms must also work for working dads, I guess.

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Krugman finds Buiter&#8217;s comments on Larry Summers silly. Never mind that Buiter does not mention &#8216;business cycles&#8217; at all in his blogpost about the three candidates for the top job at the Fed. Going by the comments section of Krugman&#8217;s blog, there is little love lost for Larry Summers.
