Some Presidents Were Great Radicals...

Today is Presidents' Day - the day we honor two of our greatest commanders-in-chief: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. To many Americans - Washington and Lincoln are now more mythic heroes than real historical figures. They have such big roles in the national consciousness that they're almost outside of history itself - more legend than fact. And that's a shame - because the real-life Washington and Lincoln have a lot to tell us both about the origins of American democracy and the future of our republic. Joining me now for more on this is Professor Harvey J. Kaye - Professor of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin.

There’s a banking crisis going on right now in the United States of America.

Another 51 million Americans - meanwhile - have checking accounts but have to rely on what United For a Fair Economy calls the “fringe banking sector” to get by. In other words - they have to call on their local payday loan shark when they need to cash a paycheck or get a little credit. And that’s a big - big problem.
