A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for May 16, 2012

PETER ORSZAG: A decline in small business hiring cost the U.S. about 4
million jobs last year, according to a study by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The data show “the importance of exploring how the
continuing deleveraging process and resultant sluggish growth in demand
is affecting smaller businesses.” [Link]

CLIVE CROOK: "The threat to Europe was never Greece, but Europe's
mismanagement of Greece." Allowing Greece to leave the euro would be
"no less catastrophic than when the EU called it unthinkable -- and not
just for Greece." [Link]

MARGARET CARLSON: Ohio Senator Rob Portman is just the kind of “Boring
White Guy” Mitt Romney seems to want for a running mate. “Every
steel-gray hair is the right length and in place” and his resume
“bespeaks steady, incremental progress up the political ladder.”

JONATHAN WEIL: “We shouldn't need federal minders permanently camped
out at giant banks' offices, and we wouldn't need them there at all if
we didn't have too-big-to-fail banks such as JPMorgan. Breaking them up
is the simplest solution.” [Link]

ZVI BODIE and CORNELIUS HURLEY: The Office of Financial Research, which
collects and analyzes information about the financial system, deserves
Congress’s full support. “The humble pie on which JPMorgan Chase chief
Jamie Dimon is now feasting should be shared generously with those in
Congress who would dismantle this valuable arm of government.”

RACHELLE BERGSTEIN: The stiletto marked the end of wartime depravation
and gave affluent, socially ambitious women a way to elevate themselves
with style. Part 3 of “Women From the Ankle Down: The Story of Shoes
and How They Define Us" explores the antecedents and appeal of the sexy
stiletto. [Link]

THE EDITORS: Slapping hefty tariffs on Chinese imports of solar
products “will satisfy a protectionist urge but undercut the U.S.
energy agenda." A clean-energy trade agreement with China and other
nations would be a better way to promote clean energy. [Link] And in
Europe, THE EDITORS write: “Whether Greeks want it or not,
circumstances could soon force their country down the path to a
reintroduction of the drachma. . . . It's hard to predict what else
might unravel.” [Link]
