Summary
<p>When even the Financial Times recognizes that Reaganism and neoliberalism has been shown to be a failure, how will we dig ourselves out of this economic crisis? Professor Richard Wolff joins Thom with his analysis. Can we trust the Federal Reserve and the rest of the government to keep the economy going- for all of us? And why did Trump fire the Inspector General?</p><p>As Biden proposes to drop the Medicare eligibility age to 60 is he moving in a more Progressive direction? Thom asks if we should repeal the Bankruptcy Act of 2002 that made it impossible to discharge student debt.</p><p>How many thousands of dead Americans is a fair price to pay to get partial herd immunity and put the economy back in gear? Who would benefit, and could it be that this is Trump's unspoken policy? And Thom's listeners reflect back what they're seeing happen to the economy from where they sit.</p><p><br /></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
