		<description><![CDATA[Whack-a-Mole trade enforcement – where a trade case is filed for each injured industry such as auto parts or paper or tires – isn’t the solution to America’s massive trade deficit.

		<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.
