Good Economy? Bad Economy? Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

What the hell is going on with the economy? 5.6 million new jobs and the stock market up 40% since Biden’s election. Yet a recent Washington Post survey found 70% of Americans have a negative attitude towards the economy. So Bill talked to Keith Mestrich. After 25 years in the labor movement Keith became the CEO of the largest values-based bank in the United States.

When Parties Collide: The Gosar Censure Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

For the first time in eleven years the House of Representatives gathered to censure one of its members. And it did so after Arizona GOP Congressman Paul Gosar posted a video - in the style of a Japanese anime cartoon - which portrayed him beheading Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden with a pair of swords. We are bringing you the highlights today because nothing better illustrates the difference between the two major political parties today.
