0:50Now PlayingThere is a direct correlation between the hollowing out of the American economy and the hollowing out of our politics. We discuss why a sustainable progressive agenda requires fiscal discipline and why overregulation is preventing the government from delivering on its promises. Without a strong middle class to act as the "ballast" for the country, we are left vulnerable to extreme political swings. It’s time to stop the broken promises and focus on the economic stability required to keep our democracy afloat.
