		<description><![CDATA[When Obama was running for the presidency he campaigned on several issues, none of which are more imperative to the long-term prosperity of the American people than comprehensive financial reform.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s taken over a year and a half, but Congress has finally come together and created a far-reaching piece of financial reform legislation. The ambitious bill looks to refine practices across all facets of the financial industry—from how debit card penalties to how financial derivatives are traded and monitored.

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since the financial breakdown hit in 2008, there has been public outcry over the fact that no one from Wall Street has had legal charges brought against them for their involvement in the crisis.

While today&#8217;s unemployment numbers, released by the Labor Department, are being hyped as evidence that the economy is gaining traction, economists still advise that we have a long way to go.
