Sorry I disappeared this week but I promise to put up last week’s show and this one ASAP.

Hint: it’s all about Aggregate Demand
The thing with macroeconomics is that the different ideological perspectives apply differently in different economic environmnets. Supply-side (Reagonomics) has valid arguments in the context of a booming economy like limits on taxation and fiscal conservatism. But in the current US economy, it simply makes no sense and becomes class-warfare against the poor and middle class! Of course Obama IS a Reagan-Conservative when it comes to economic policy, and the “fiscal cliff” BS is theatrics hiding an argument about the details of how to economically rape us >:/

Well talk about the environmental catastrophe depending upon us but also surely go on multiple tangents and idiosyncrasies as usual.
Post any questions or comments you have about this and that right here and we’ll do our best to respond on the air.
