5. Now Dylan's on a rant. Uh oh.
Talking about foreign rivals using their US holdings to increase the national debt. China's and Russia's ownership of our housing debt. Russia approached China about dumping in unison.

6. Not very interesting after all, but here's what was on the show:
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 04:57 PM by protect our future
Dylan talked about the recent SCOTUS decision and asks: "Why don't giant corporations just cut out the middleman and run for Congress themselves?"

Then he shows an ad for a corporation doing just that. I didn't catch the name of the corp.

Then Dylan says sometimes it takes an ad to show how ridiculous and damaging it is for a country that practices democracy to make such a decision.

Cool.
