If you'd like to help with my call in show tonight's topic is The Economy
And I'm going to start off with talking about Pfizer laying off 300 employees at it's Lincoln facility, then go on to talk about the broader economy.

My show is called The Late Night Call In Show.

It's on KZUM in Lincoln Nebraska from 2am to 3 am.

If you don't mind paying long distance the phone number is 402-474-5086, if you'd like to call in.

If you have any ideas for the show, please let me know about them.

Thank you for your time.

but Please mention how the courts can allow UAL to dump it's pension plan it "underfunded" (stole) while the current bankruptcy law can cause seizure of one's home . That is, however,only a problem for the little guy.
Don't forget CAFTA. I talked to my GE service 800# it was in San Jose. Costa rica, not CA.I know that Nafta was very bad for the Mexican corn farmers, Do Nebraskans care?
The price of gas was about $22. in Jan 2001, now $65 = 180%
Just some Ideas to toss around
Real estate bubble bursting?
Oh yeah Did you know that CA spends $80M on social services (healthcare) for Walmart imployees, who need state Medicaid, MediCal.
Discuss the hidden costs of Wally's China mart ,You know China, land of forced abortions? death of local business'Unfair labor practices.

2. Thanks for reminding me to mention CAFTA and the Bankruptcy Law
changes.

I might briefly mention Cannibis, as I did in my first show, but it's not really tonight's topic.
