    Call for immigration reform now. Have you not seen the old Republicans saying Golly we didn’t want this. Why don’t we just reform the immigration system? Those little vignettes are all over TV news right now. Take a look. Pay attention.

  • Old ideas that got us here

    This is probably the quintessential neo-liberal podcast, full of old ideas that got the US where it is today and gutted the middle class: no universal healthcare, as if the subsidies helped anyone in the middle class. I occasionally hate-listen but they’re not very consistent and they are basically the spokespeople for failed boomer policy and laissez-faire capitalism that helps only the wealthy, like they themselves are.
