  • Old ideas that got us here

    This is probably the quintessential neo-liberal podcast, full of old ideas that got the US where it is today and gutted the middle class: no universal healthcare, as if the subsidies helped anyone in the middle class. I occasionally hate-listen but they’re not very consistent and they are basically the spokespeople for failed boomer policy and laissez-faire capitalism that helps only the wealthy, like they themselves are.

    They won’t answer a single question with the truth or follow the law.

    “They lie and continue to lie, as if to say we’re POWERFUL enough to lie, and get away with it”.

    It’s a war of attrition. They are winning overtime, at a rapid pace.

    Although I don’t agree with his politics, James Carville is one of the greatest pundits of our time. I could laugh just listening to his one liners and his over the top reactions to his opponents. I hope he never changes and love listening. Thank you !
