		<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. Most recently, we&#8217;ve seen our Supreme Court rule that corporations have a right to free speech. None of this sounds outrageously shocking. What&#8217;s the big deal? 
The big deal is a [...]]]></description>

		<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[The Economist has put together an interactive graphic showing public debt worldwide. While it&#8217;s fun and colorful and interesting to play with, it&#8217;s also a visual illustration of the state of the world&#8217;s economies, especially all the developed countries with massive debt.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been on a zero-growth economics kick for some time now, but it&#8217;s led me down a few other related paths: the role of Libertarians, the co-opting of Tea Parties, and the need for patching all the &#8220;leaks&#8221; in our economic plumbing.
