Ryan Girdusky, Red Alert Politics & Adam Green, Bold Progressives' Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) &Scott Greer, The Daily Caller all join Thom. Florida Representative and Chair of the Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz found a new way to completely alienate the progressive wing of the democratic party. Wasserman Schultz is currently co-sponsoring a bill that would gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by delaying new payday lending rules by two years - and it would nullify the rules in any state that has its own payday lending law - like her state of Florida. The CFPB was a major accomplishment for progressives - why is the chair of the DNC attacking it?
Marshall Auerback, Levy Institute/Economists for Peace and Security joins Thom. The real question is - who has the economic plan that will reboot the American dream?
Some billionaires on the right want you to believe the big lie that the Democratic policies of Hillary and Bernie are bad for businesses - especially small businesses. Democrats like Bernie Sanders aren't anti-business - they're pro-business. I’ll tell you why.
Tonight’s Politics Panel talks yesterday’s Super Tuesday results, how Hillary advisors are trying to appeal to Trump supporters, and whether Trump is holding Chris Christie hostage. Thom discusses the presidential candidates economic policies with economist Marshall Auerback and in tonight’s Daily Take Thom debunks the myth that Democrats are bad for business.
Sherle R. Schwenninger, World Economic Roundtable at New America/The Nation Magazine, joins Thom. Economists - the people who study this stuff for a living - now think that the world is teetering on the edge of yet another big recession. Slowing growth in China - plummeting stock prices - and sputtering growth in Europe - they say that all of these things are warning signs that the fundamentals of the economy are weak - and that we could be heading for another big collapse.
Economist/Activist John Perkins joins Thom. Bernie Sanders has built a grassroots movement by telling people the truth - that the economy is rigged. But who rigged the economy to make the rich richer - and the middle class poorer? Find out - when I talk to a former "Economic Hit Man"
Super Tuesday is finally here - and it looks like we're in for a long and eventful night with over 1,500 delegates up for grabs between the two major parties. We'll have the latest on all the primary action when Ed Schultz joins us.
Thom discusses the Super Tuesday results with RT America’s Ed Schultz, whether we’re in the middle of another recession with New America’s Sherle Schwenninger, and how our economic system is rigged with economist John Perkins, author of “New Confessions of an Economic Hitman.”
