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.

All month until Election Day, CJ will be airing special investigations into the most important issues of this election.If there's one thing that both parties, both candidates and the country can agree... more
