Morning! The world's central bankers signaled their intent to keep interest rates low after their annual confab in Wyoming. The bankers say they can keep rates low and spur growth without risking inflation for perhaps a couple more years.

Labor unions, including autoworkers, could benefit from a $10 billion provision tucked into Congressional bills for overhauling health care. The Detroit Free Press reports that the measure "would see the government — at least temporarily — pay 80 cents on the dollar to corporate and union insurance plans for claims between $15,000 and $90,000 for retirees age 55 to 64."

Three from the New York Times: First, Paul Krugman has just about it had with "zombie" Reaganomics in the debate over health care. Second, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn argue that empowering women is the key to saving the world. Third, a little more on Goldman Sachs programmer Sergey Aleynikov, who's accused of stealing proprietary software used for computerized trading.

And you've got a few hours left before the government's $3 billion Cash for Clunkers program shuts down later today — if you can find a dealer who's still taking part. The Detroit Free Press says many dealers have given up because of problems getting reimbursed.
