Part 2

Then Randall Wray, a senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute joins us to critique the president’s jobs proposal and argue that a direct job creation program like the WPA would create more demand than extending unemployment and payroll tax cuts while providing the necessary improvements to our decaying infrastructure.

Part 3

Then finally we speak with Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan, the co-authors of a new book “The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden”. We discuss the real conspiracies surrounding 9/11 that remain unanswered, obscured by the endless manufactured nonsense propagated by the 9/11 “truthers” that distracts people from the real mistakes, malfeasance and misdeeds of the U.S. Government and the Intelligence community. Summers and Swan
