Published on Dec 5, 2013
Looking at American history, Hartmann, host of The Big Picture, sees that roughly every four generations, catastrophe strikes. To avert the next economic and social disaster, he urges us to reject the destabilizing profit motives of corporations, and embrace the ideals of democratic civil values that once defined the nation.

Hartmann saw the dangers of the housing bubble in 2006-07 like some others and mentioned it.

I hope this was supposed to be sarcasm.
Oh forget your response. You are a Hillary supporter. No wonder you would post this.
And I can guarantee, you did not watch this video before trying to disparage Thom Hartman.

His assessment saved the business of friends on the west coast who held off on plans to expand after they heard what he said. Since the system is larger than before and was never really reformed after 2008 there will be inevitable problems. He's not late at all.

TH is a special genius and gifted communicator who's fortunately on the side of truth, democracy and the people.

(8,175 posts)6. He really is brilliant
and yet, just an every day man. I wish I knew him as a friend to sit around the fireside with a glass of whatever and have an interesting conversation.
