		<description><![CDATA[Since the financial near-collapse of 2008, we&#8217;ve inaugurated a new president, bailed out big banks, and seen Congress fumble an attempt to reform healthcare.

		<description><![CDATA[REGULATE, FOOS!!
It can&#8217;t be undone now, but choosing to tackle a resource-demanding issue like healthcare reform in the midst of such a severe economic downturn was just stupid. Helloo? Obama? Pelosi? Agggh, stupid. I&#8217;d love to see meaningful, substantive healthcare reform, and especially A PUBLIC OPTION, but it just wasn&#8217;t going to go well when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If anything about the financial crisis made you beet-red angry, then you must read Simon Johnson. Johnson is a former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund who wrote one of the best pieces on the financial crisis in print, the Quiet Coup.
