The event is really focused on how political corruption is leading to the creation of policies that are intensifying America's middle-class squeeze, and what impact this can/will have on the 2006 Congressional elections. So this is very much a conversation that involves both policy and politics, which is why we've invited folks from a variety of perspectives: academia (I bet Dr. Elizabeth Warren would love being refered to as a hack - you should check out her book, "The Two Income Trap: Why Mothers and Fathers are Going Broke," as well as her definitive research on bankruptcy), the political operative side, the candidate/elected perspective, and David, who has just extensively researched the issue and written a book about it.
