Kansas City, MO – The faltering US economy dominated headlines across the country, and the world. Congress ended up passing a 700-billion-dollar rescue plan for Wall Street.

Hear from Kathy Hull, Janice Buchanan, David Lloyd, Helen Munoz, Kecia Smith and Brent Carpenter - all interviewed in Kansas City and Independence.
