Republicans have put the US on a path of warp-speed decline - and they want you to think it's worth cheering for
Listening to Republicans, it's apparent they don't have much respect for the intelligence of the American people. Over 70 percent of Americans want a national health care system like every other developed country in the world has, but the GOP tells us that we just aren't smart enough to make it work. It'll be too confusing and complex for average Americans, they say, and, besides that, if the government "takes over" our health care system, we're on our way to tyranny. About two-thirds of Americans think that we should have free college education for anybody intellectually capable of attending, and free trade schools as well - like pretty much every other developed country in the world (and quite a few of the developing countries). Republicans tell us that we can't use government funds to pay off our nation's $1.5 trillion in student debt because we just borrowed that exact amount last year to give tax rebates to billionaires, so there's nothing left. We're just not smart enough to fix the problem. Read more here. -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. Can American Schools Get the Lead Out? More than two thirds of states examined received failing grades for unsafe levels of lead. As more states are testing their water, more and more schools are finding lead in their drinking water.
Is there a way to fix our the lead problem in our public schools?If you sign up on Patreon you'll get more than the podcast. Can you take time now to support this show?
