Robin Hood needed on both
sides of the Atlantic
NATIONAL -- This September marks five years
since the financial meltdown on Wall Street set scores of international economies ablaze, and most ordinary people are still stuck in an economic crisis of historic proportions. The legacy of Wall Street's dirty dealings? Skyhigh levels of joblessness, millions of home foreclosures, a decimated public sector, and 1 in 3 Americans living at or near poverty. For nurses, it means five years since that patient has been unable to regularly fill his heart medications, five years since that patient has had her cancer checked for reoccurrence, or even five years since their unemployed adult children, with kids of their own, have moved back in with them.
