On the Show:
– Sanders v. Wall Street
Calling the Wall Street business model a fraud in a speech earlier this week, Bernie Sanders delivered a campaign promise that will be quoted, praised, debated, a fretted over for as long as Sanders remains a viable candidate, declaring: If you are a bank too big to fail, you don’t have the right to exist.”
– Obama On Gun Control
Barack Obama doesn’t want to take your guns away; he’d just prefer you did not use them so much.
– TransCanada Sues US fro $15 Billion
TransCanada lost its bid to build the Keystone XL pipeline. Now it is using NAFTA and the US Federal courts to seek $15 billion damages – and they way I understand NAFTA, they just might win. All the more reason to make one final push to defeat NAFTA’s big brother in waiting: that Trojan Horse gently knocking at the wall that will usher in a global corporate coup: that is right people, it is time once again to take action against the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
