		<description><![CDATA[How short the memories of the electorate. When the president took office, the American economy, the envy of the world, was falling off the cliff. Growth was declining at an annual rate of about 6 percent. We were losing three-quarters-of-a-million jobs every month. The American financial system was in freefall. People were wondering whether they [...]]]></description>

What if we all do measurably better under a cooperative approach legislated by the Democrats. Would conservatives be OK with it?

		<description><![CDATA[My opinion on dissent has not changed &#8212; it is a good thing. Actual debate is always good. And right now some actual debate is occurring. For example, Krugman, who I like, doesn&#8217;t like Obama&#8217;s bail-out plan. Neither do some other economists I read and listen to. I think Obama has gotten a wide range [...]]]></description>
