Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
The recent dizzying events on Wall Street and in Washington have left many
progressives feeling outrage, unease, and, frankly, bafflement.
How dare Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs (which
raked in profits of $5.6 billion in 2005 under his watch), come to taxpayers
with palms outstretched, demanding $700 billion with no strings attached? What
should we make of the dire pronouncements that another Great Depression will be
upon us if we don't listen to the Treasury Secretary? And what is the
relationship between the crisis on Wall Street and the foreclosures and job
losses gripping communities across the country?
To address these urgent questions and move toward a concerted progressive
response, The Nation and the Brecht Forum are convening an emergency forum on
October 10 featuring leading experts on economics and grassroots politics.
