Thom Hartmann's daily take.

Today Thom takes a closer look at the Tucson massacre that killed a federal judge and severely wounded Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Thom talks with Mark Potok about the alleged shooter Jared Loughner. Then, Thom sits down with Eleanor Clift to get more insight into the life of Gabrielle Giffords. Also, Thom talks with Chip Berlet and Lee Fang about the politicization of the Tucson shooting incident.

If the US ends its wars tomorrow and brings all troops and private contractors back home the unemployment would shoot to depression year level. When there is no need in weapons and war materials the US economy would manufacture virtually nothing, says Thom Hartmann.
