The American Dream is Alive & Well In China
 As we are seeing millions of people in the streets in Hong Kong becoming politically active, we also learned that roughly 70% of Chinese millennials already own their own homes. This is because they have absolutely no student debt and don't have to worry about medical expenses, because China has free college and a single payer healthcare system very much like Canada's. The Chinese middle class has virtually no debt compared to the American working class, and yet conservatives will tell you that America is just too weak and pathetic to offer free college and free comprehensive medical care to its people. Every other developed country in the world, even China, can do it, but the GOP in the Blue Dogs will tell you that it's just not possible here in America. Maybe that's because in the years since Reagan's last months in office, the top one% has raked in $20 trillion while the bottom 50% has lost $900 billion in wealth. And conservatives think that's just fine. -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. Climate Change will Cause the Worst Economic DisasterIf you sign up on Patreon you'll get more than the podcast. Can you take time now to support this show? |
