Stiglitz. If you are talking to voters, family, friends, Republicans, Democrats,

neighbors, just random strangers, you need to listen to this.

Just in case why we don't have enough jobs, why so many Americans are on food stamps, whey our economy is in trouble, what Europe did wrong, where we should go with our economy and most important why we need to elect Obama and then push him to listen to Stiglitz.

Sorry. No video. No visual. And it is very long.

But I'm posting it anyway because this interview is, in my opinion, a must-listen for anyone who wants to know why our economy is in so much trouble and what we need to do to make it better.

It was done, I suspect, in June or so, but it applies to our present reality even more than it did to our reality then.

the forbidden truths about where we are, how we got here, and who's at fault. Dr. Krugman is more respectful of authority and has been well rewarded for his compliance.

Paul tells it like we want to hear it, Joe tells it like it is.
