		<description><![CDATA[For too many Americans, it will be hard to muster gratitude this Thanksgiving as they suffer the painful and prolonged effects of the recession caused by the Wall Street crash. The past two months, though, produced glimmers of hope -- the occupation, the election and the mid-November demonstrations. These events suggest empowerment of the 99 percent and emergence of change. They’re reason for thanks giving, especially by those formerly in the middle class who will for the first time experience this holiday without the traditional feast. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too many citizens, and particularly politicians, prostrate themselves to Wall Street’s bronze idol. They revere financial titans who pay themselves and their minions millions to manipulate money and gamble recklessly. This false idolatry produced a nation gripped by massive unemployment, a nation in which destructive income inequality has risen beyond robber baron levels, a nation where politicians genuflect to money changers, not majority citizens. Salvation is not more failed trickle-down economics or more deregulation so that Wall Street can resume unfettered wagering. Redemption is political and economic systems devoted to serving the common good, not the affluent few.

It&#8217;s no wonder, then, why they&#8217;re dogged by an ongoing series of contradictions. These incongruities whiz past our faces so quickly [...]]]></description>

With President Barack Obama’s demand that Congress pass his American Jobs Act and his call on the supercommittee to push hard on 10-year deficit reduction, a battle has begun that won’t be resolved until the 2012 election. If then. But the haunting reality is that neither [...]]]></description>
