Here's the road map for your journey today:
--Background you need to know
--What caused the current crisis
--What needs to be done to fix things up
--Exposing the phony right-wing solution
--And, the death of the "free market"
Along the way, you'll learn about the "shadow banking system," and hear clips of Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Treasury Secretary Paulson, and...a famous comedy team or two. Huh? Stay tuned!
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)
Programming note: Until May, there will most likely not be live shows on alternate weeks.
Thank you for the great job on this podcast. This was very informative and answered some of the questions which I had concerning the Bear Stearns Companies Inc. bailout, the conditions and actions which allowed this fiasco to occur, and the means by which Wall Street achieved this latest theft of government "bail-out" money.
ReplyDeleteI listened closely for any discrepancies between what you had to say and the comments made by the pundits who have spent hours discussing the situation, and found none. In fairness, I do not listen to Fox News so I can not compare your comments to any of their pundits, however, experience has lead me to understand that listening to Fox News is a waste of time when attempting to learn factual information.
