        The U.S. economy has been in a recession since December 2007, the National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday. The NBER &#151; a private, nonprofit research organization &#151; said its group of academic economists who determine business cycles met and decided that the U.S. recession began last December.

        A new law gives federal authorities the power to investigate and fine freight railroads for not giving priority to passenger trains. On-time performance is a needling problem for Amtrak passengers nationwide, especially in Missouri where tardy trains between Kansas City and St. Louis have contributed to declining ridership.

        The trucking industry has long been considered a reliable early indicator of where the economy is going. If so, we have a rough road ahead. These days diesel fuel is cheaper, but truckers find that less merchandise is being shipped in the United States.

        Forget about waiting for Inauguration Day. Looking almost like a co-president, Barack Obama on Monday cited an &amp;ldquo;economic crisis of historic proportions,&amp;rdquo; conferred with the man who&amp;rsquo;s still in the White House and urged Congress to pass a costly, job-creating stimulus bill as quickly as possible.

        President-elect Barack Obama wants to project fiscal restraint even as his economic team assembles a massive recovery package that could cost several hundred billion dollars. A day after introducing the captains of his economic team and promoting a giant jobs plan, Obama on Tuesday is to lay out his budget belt-tightening vision. The dual images - big spender and disciplined budget watcher - were designed to give both political and economic assurances to the public, the Congress and the financial markets.
