*Stories of the Day. *Joseph Stiglitz highlights the destructive
force<http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/12/23-7> of
Wall Street and what it has done to American society *"It has now been
almost five years since the bursting of the housing bubble, and four years
since the onset of the recession. There are 6.6 million fewer jobs in the
United States than there were four years ago. Some 23 million Americans who
would like to work full-time cannot get a job. Almost half of those who are
unemployed have been unemployed long-term. Wages are falling—the real
income of a typical American household is now below the level it was in
1997...."*

*Occupy Albany.* Has been
evicted<http://empire.wnyc.org/2011/12/occupy-albany-cleared-from-lafayette-park/>
