Full Program

Part 1

Part 2

Then we speak about the Ryan Budget, which the President, in tying it to Mitt Romney, described a cruel social Darwinism. Thomas Ferguson, a professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts, Boston joins us to examine Mitt Romney’s economic priorities reflected in the Ryan budget that he has embraced.

Part 3

Then finally, we are joined by James Kwak, the co-author with Simon Johnson of the new book ”White House Burning: The Founding Fathers, Our National Debt, and Why it Matters to You”. We expose the myths surrounding deficits and debts and what needs to be done to fix our economy, if and when political gridlock ends and an adult discussion begins.
