The State of the Union is Worrying.
 We are worried about global warming, all the lobbyists running government, that the economy will crash, that Trump will start a war, for the children that have been ripped from the mother's arms at the border, that Trump has sold this country out to other dictators around the world, and that Mike Pence will destroy the rights of women. We are also worried because many of us are one paycheck away from the street and the next medical crisis may be unaffordable. But, most of all we are worried - what Trump might do - that we can't yet imagine. When you govern by whim - you get a worried electorate. -Thom |

WHY I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT PATREON?
Your support of the program is invaluable. Producing the Thom Hartmann Program is a labor of love for the team, but doesn't come without cost. We supply the program to non-profit, community and volunteer radio and cable stations across the US. However, this isn't cost free and being a supporter through Patreon means you can help us to meet some of the bills, to allow us to continue free supply to the non-profit sector. As a way of saying thank you, we would like to give you something back for your support at various levels. Every weekday, the live Thom Hartmann Program three hour program is recorded exclusively for Patreon supporters. Unedited, the full three hour video will be right here on the Patreon page, within a couple of hours of the end of the live program. And we're also providing extra videos not seen anywhere else like our new one. Beyond the Tipping Point: Is It Too Late to Stop Climate Change? Progressive democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are working to bring Americans the Green New Deal in effort to fight climate change. Is this change coming too late, and what should be done?If you sign up on Patreon you'll get more than the podcast. Can you take time now to support this show? |
Tuesday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: The State of the Union is Worrying... What Worries You?
Law: " G.I. Bill" (Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944) by Wikipedia.
Hour Two: Here's the "What if?" - If Trump Declares a National Emergency...- Andrew Boyle, Counsel, Liberty & National Security Program - Brennan Center 
Article: " Constitution of the United States" Article 1 section 8 (Powers of Congress). " The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States..."
Quote: " A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy." - attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler. |
