		<description><![CDATA[You may have seen these commercials for FreeEnterpriseAmerica.com. This is the latest effort in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s campaign to let businesses do whatever the hell they want. The face of the campaign is respectable enough: Harness American innovation to create 20 million new jobs. Wonderful! Let’s do that. But of course, the only way to do that, according to the Chamber, is to never hold any business accountable for anything.[...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The economy is still in trouble and there will be more discussion about it in the coming weeks and months. We should not let morality obscure that discussion. Certainly we should strive for economic reforms that reward hard work and innovation rather than Wall St. coin clipping. We should also do what we can to make sure everyone has a fair chance at economic prosperity. But we shouldn’t let ourselves be led into the trap of believing that prudent spending is a sin or that our economy should go to hell.[...]]]></description>

At least then, our public debate could focus on the features of economic life that actually exist. This would likely rein in the discourse on both the right and left. But in a national climate in which a substantial percentage of people don’t think evolution should be taught in schools, I see little hope for economics.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who&#8217;s to blame for this lousy economy? We can blame the housing market bubble which popped, or the banking &#38; mortgage industries, or maybe the rising health care costs and skyrocketing insurance premiums which affect auto-makers, doctors&#8217; private sectors, small &#38; medium-size businesses.

		<description><![CDATA[The current recession is an international dilemma. With plans to bailout auto-makers, banks, and mortgage agencies now totaling over $800 billion, one must ask where&#8217;s the stimulus part? Will this recession turn into a depression? Economists and statisticians claim the economy is recovering yet the dollar&#8217;s value continues to drop, stocks are at a 12-year [...]]]></description>
