12. I loved it when Franken Riped Billo many years ago on a book tour

They were on the same stage together and then comedy writer Al Franken got billo to blow a fuse (when Ms. Ivans was with us as she was the hostess). Now that comedy writer is a U.S. Senator and is laughing at that on cluster faux every day.





And for your viewing pleasure is Billo getting reemed by Al on stage. This was the debate about who won an award that Billo claimed he won.

Franken is intro'd at about 11:45.

that our elected officials are betting against us. Generosity and benevolence pay off economically. Well-cared for, reasonably secure citizens are better contributors and producers. Except for O'Reilly and his ilk. They roll more with "I got mine."

15. Richard Wolff Should Be Americas Economist
Thu Dec 12, 2013, 02:15 PM
Dec 2013

When you want the whole truth and nothing but the truth on economic issues, Richard Wolff
is your go to man. He knows and understands economics better than anyone I have ever heard.
He is able to express the economic issue/conflict in a simple, clean, clear manner, which as
we all know, when you have a highly complex issue, it takes a master to be able to distill
the complexity down into easily understandable thoughts and points for everyone to understand.
