http://billmoyers.com/ - Moyers and Company - watching on our PBS as I type this.I am learning much from watching Moyers tonight. Dorgan called this mess in 1999 - superb interview with him on the show (be sure to watch it if you can).
Another tidbit - the banking industry is outspending other lobbying efforts 25:1 to try to get rid of even Dodd Frank.
Moyers is hitting it out of the park in this episode.
Chart to end the shot - shows increases in income of the top 1% - over 250% - between 1979 and 2006.
Way too much for me to summarize....and now it is nearing time for bed - and now I find myself incredibly pissed off again.....
