The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
We start this week with a great article from The American Prospect on the push for attention in Obama's agenda.
In economic swindl..I mean, bailout news: Treasury and the FED have handed out two trillion dollars. Where is it?! Alternet reports that there are borderline illegal deals going on and Democrats have only themselves to blame for the failure of Detroit. The Nation chimes in that Free-Marketers are proposing a Detroit shock doctrine themselves.
The New Republic looks into an great inside-the-numbers look at the economic collapse and debt exchange and why exactly does the economy grow better under higher taxes?
Why downturns in the art market matter.
Finally this week, big banks are trying to buy up public water systems and experts are predicting drinking water shortages by 2080.
