Papantonio: America - The Banana Republic

This segment originally aired on the September 22nd, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The United States has fallen a long way in recent years -- we're shipping our jobs overseas, denying healthcare to the needy, and we're constantly looking for a new war. The closer you look, it becomes clearer that we're headed down the path of becoming a banana republic. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio talks about this with attorneys Mike Burg and Niall McCarthy.

I live near a Hispanic working class neighborhood, and the only bank for many blocks is a Chase. No smaller regional bank, no credit union anywhere in sight. But lots of resale/discount stores and plenty of panhandling. Yeah, we're exceptional all right - exceptional for throwing a vast percentage of the population to the wolves.
