Interest rates are at or near 0! Where else are they gonna go but up. This guy's a shill.
Does anyone living in the 21rst century really care about what a libertarian has to say about the current economy? Unrestrained free markets got us here, people!
and were bush's tax cuts for the rich good or bad for the economy
I found this to be a useless segment -- he says vs he says.
If the goal is to educate in order to promote informed involvement, this segment produced the opposite: cynical resignation -- since the "experts" disagree, woe on the rest of us to figure out what to do.
If you want to have responsible exploration of these matters you need to devote much more time, and ask much more probing questions.
This was unworthy of your program.
The magazine format you are increasingly adopting, in which many topics are allocated just a few minutes, is contrary to the historic purpose of your show, which was to examine complicated subjects in depth.
I have yet to hear a discussion on economic policy that is not based in ideology. My question is are there any economists out there that can have a logical and rational discussion without pushing a specific political agenda?
