Professor Max Fraad Wolff, Economist/Instructor, New School University, joins Thom Hartmann. As Europeans continue to struggle through the Eurozone mess - many are turning to alternative forms of economies in order to survive. What kinds of systems are Europeans using - and are these alternatives the answer to the global economic crisis?

Senior Economic advisor to Mitt Romney Glenn Hubbard. There's a very high likelihood that if Romney wins the presidency, then Glenn Hubbard might become the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve. So Thom moved in to get to the bottom of his - and Romney's economic philosophy - which is essentially rooted in Reaganomics - or supply-side economics. Notice how Hubbard agreed with Thom's premise - that growth is not being shared evenly. However - there was no achnowledgment whatsoever about the failure of Reaganomics. Instead - Hubbard attributes the problem to...well the same thing that all Republicans say it is - government's too big, taxes are too high, regulations are too burdensome.We need revolutionary economic change as we saw during the last economic crisis in America in the 1930's. And these guys don't have a clue about how to make it happen.

Marc Harrold, Attorney / Author-"Observations of White Noise...an 'Acid Test' for the First Amendment" joins Thom Hartmann. Thanks to the failed war on drugs - in the last thirty years the incarceration rate in America has jumped from 220 people out of every 100000 to 743 out of every 100000. That equates to 2 million more prisoners in America - a quarter of whom are non-violent drug offenders. And for the first time in history - both prison spending and student loan debt topped one trillion dollars. We haven't heard anything about the failed drug war yet at the RNC - and I doubt we will. But isn't it time we end it - and divert all the money wasted on it to sending more young Americans to college?

Alan Colmes, Host-the Alan Colmes Show & Author-"Thank The Liberals... For Saving America, joins Thom Hartmann. At the GOP Convention Republicans are pretending to be the party of adults - willing to tell the American people the hard truths. Isn't the hardest truth to hear that our government has been completely overtaken by corporate interests thanks to the Republican Party?
