A case in point: New York Time financial columnist Joe Nocera quoted at length in a story by Phoebe Mitchell in the Daily Hampshire Gazette on Nov 29.  He was speaking at the Amherst Political Union, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a country where joblessness is a painful 9.1 percent. Where one in five children lives in poverty. Where foreclosures rose again last month. Where a whole movement—Occupy Wall Street -- is growing to protest the appeasement of the rich at the cost of the middle class. In that place, Congress chose to walk backwards last week. It didn’t take two steps forward – which it could have by passing the currency manipulation bill and American Jobs Act. No. It just took a giant step backward by embracing three job-killing trade agreements. It all provokes the question: Where are the jobs?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first few weeks of June, the Smithsonian opened an all-American made gift shop. A U.S. Senator introduced legislation mandating federal agencies buy all American-made flags. And at the Netroots Nation 2011 conference, the AFL-CIO will serve American union-made beer. The Alliance for American Manufacturing will host an American-made fashion show. And the BlueGreen Alliance will give Netroots attendees mercury-free, USW-made,  non-curly cue Oshram Sylvania halogen light bulbs. With 9.1 percent unemployment, this convergence of American-made events is significant because buying American-made products is buying American jobs. And buying American union-made products is buying good, middle class American jobs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reckless Wall Street banksters get taxpayer-funded bailouts. Billionaires get tax breaks. Corporations like GE and Bank of America pay absolutely no federal income taxes. But workers don’t get those breaks. As a result, it’s workers footing the bill for the government services that enrich the rich. It’s time patriots stood up to the ultra-wealthy and corporate freeloaders. Join Monday’s We Are One rallies. These demonstrations across the country by religious groups, social justice organizations and labor unions will illustrate that the middle class is mad as hell and not going to take trickster economics anymore.]]></description>
