President Barack Obama has been bashing companies that pursue offshore mergers to reduce taxes. He hasnt talked about the people behind the deals -- some of whom are his biggest donors.
Sylvia Mathews Burwell brings experience in budgeting and management and one other important qualification: proven ability to get confirmed by a divided U.S. Senate.
The odds that Congress will pass an increase in the minimum wage before the November elections are so low that even the nations lobbyists are largely ignoring it.
