Papantonio: Austerity Push Continues Despite Falling Deficit

In spite of what the Republican Party wants you to think, our budget deficit is falling at an unprecedented rate.

Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio speaks with Richard Eskow from the Campaign for America’s Future about why austerity will never work.

Get these tparty and republican idiots out of Congress!
