		<description><![CDATA[Just so that I&#8217;m clear on this&#8230; Our government leaders had very few qualms about handing off $700B to Wall Street and the financial institutions, and passed that level of funding in not time at all.

		<description><![CDATA[Democracy is defined as &#8220;a government by the people, for the people.&#8221; But given the events of late, it may be necessary to take a sobering, candid look at things and see whether that&#8217;s really the case any longer.
