		<description><![CDATA[So, turns out that the US trade deficit went down to $30.7 billion in August 2009 from $31.9 billion in July 2009.
What is particularly interesting is the strong correlation between the imports and the exports.

It’s a rather interesting read, but my only bone to pick is that the estimates seem a little too optimistic (e.g. the assumed 3+% growth rate). Turns out that I’m not the only one who feels that way – the WSJ econ blog also talks about [...]]]></description>

While some of his statements make me cringe (i.e. comparing socialism with American characteristics with socialism with Chinese characteristics), he does make a lot of good points on how our system cannot be sustained long [...]]]></description>

From the NYT -
Gleaming new Mercedes cars roll one by one out of a huge container ship here and onto a pier. Ordinarily the cars would be loaded on trucks within hours, destined for dealerships around the country. But these are not ordinary times.
For now, the port itself is the destination. Unwelcome by dealers and [...]]]></description>

One of the interesting measures is &#8220;racial sensitivity&#8221; of white voters between Obama and McCain.
 
A similar graph amongst Blacks would have been useful; however, blacks have traditionally been a pro-democratic group, with 90% supporting [...]]]></description>
