Friday 22 August '08 show
- "Brunch with Bernie" with Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent of Vermont. Obama is firing back on McCain, evidence based, McCain in mire. He can't campaign on his true policies, tax breaks for the rich, continuing the Iraq war, cutting back on social security, privatizing. structural, systemic problem. Using time wisely at the Democratic convention. Why it's a do nothing congress, overcoming filibusters. Some progress. Get the Obama campaign to start a Peace Corps for America, scientists working pro bono? What happens if you tax the rich more? Does it trickle down? Why do high ranking military retire young? Extend the leaving age and have 5 year ban on lobbying for the Military Industrial Complex? Military budget. Why help Wall Street to maintain "stability"? Don't you need to let the business cycle to work? You are doomed if you do and doomed if you don't. Massive financial dislocation. Condi going to Baghdad, tentative timetable. Thom said they would declare victory and jack up economy before election. Term limits. Influence of big money. What side are your candidates on?

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
