Analyzing Trump's Mass Support

<p>On this week's episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on the blow back to Iowa Senator Joni Ernst's rationalization of budget cuts to Medicaid to help fund tax cuts for corporations and the rich, 8,000 Connecticut healthcare workers win contract gains by threatening to strike, and how the advertising industry spawned by capitalism distorts and corrupts human communication. The show's second half features an interview with UC-Berkeley Professor Arlie Hochschild on the reasons why Trump's political base continues to support him.</p> <p> </p> <p>The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D.
