And history has said that whatever party [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The economy has certainly drove home the idea of job creation as a campaign theme. Candidates are falling over themselves with campaign promises that they will &#8220;create jobs.&#8221; Naturally the tea party is out front and center with the idea that government can&#8217;t create jobs, with people like Linda McMahon sayign that government doesn&#8217;t create [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish it was standard curriculum policy that a course in macro economics be required. I&#8217;d start with the political flunkies of course, but extend it all the way down to kindergarten. At least, back in the day, kindergartners were instinctively aware of the whole supply/demand curve when it came to chocolate versus whole milk, [...]]]></description>
