If there's one thing that both parties, both candidates and the country can agree on it's that the economy is the most important topic of this election. With record high foreclosure rates, bank failures, plunging stock markets and massive losses of jobs the next president will be faced with the difficult task of bringing America back from the brink of a depression.
In this Collective Journalism Special, "The Broke Generation" we look at the many causes and effects of the economic crisis. We hear from a former Bear Stearns employee, a visual artist handing out Zero Dollars, students in debt, uninsured freelancers, people bogged down with long commutes and high gas prices, and do an in depth look at the many facets of the foreclosure crisis. CJ contributors from all over the country weigh in on the most crucial topic of this election.

5 years in Iraq. 7 in Afghanistan. Over 600 billion dollars spent. Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have debated over battle strategies and timetables, but what's the reality for the boots on the ground? This pod follows five Army National Guard soldiers as they discuss their deployment to Iraq. "Generation War", the third in Collective Journalism's special Election series takes an in depth look at several different perspectives on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--from the recruitment process to the time on the ground and what happens when soldiers come home. We will see what life is like for ROTC college students, listen to young soldiers perspectives on their time in Iraq, hear from civilian soldiers who are being deployed, ride along with an all-female unit as they escort a convoy, hear what it's like to be a family member or loved one left behind, take a look at what soldiers do when they come home and hear what each presidential candidate proposes to do about it.

Has America's image been tarnished by the last eight years? Democrats seem to think so, and increasingly so do some Republicans. Collective Journalism contributors around the world work to gauge America's image abroad, as US policymakers struggle to maintain positive feeling in spite of ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The View From Over There" takes in an depth look at American foreign policy and how it affects America's image abroad. In this show, we feature a look at how other countries view the US, especially in the wake of Sept 11, the War on Terror, and the War in Iraq. We also hear from citizens of other countries about who they prefer in this year's US election. And finally, we show a unique perspective on the issue of how to handle Iran - an Iranian perspective.
