February 23, 2013 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

The U.S. Economy: Hijacked by “Debt Bubbles” and Money in Politics
Saturday, Feb. 23, 6:00 pm
at Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Sponsored by the Social Justice Committee

Why haven’t we bounced back from the Great Recession?
Why do we still struggle with declining real wages and high unemployment?
Why are there so many people with underwater mortgages and exploding student debt?
Why does Congress discuss slashing Social Security & Medicare as solutions for economic recovery?

Randy, a member of the Seattle’s Getting Money Out of Politics group, will present a framework for understanding why the recent economic crisis. Join the discussion and explore together what we can do to stand against austerity and budget cuts, to help our families and our neighborhoods, and to recover democracy.

Refreshments will be served. Donations accepted.
