We had a lively argument with some of my students in the studio about current US foreign policy in its economic and historical context. Despite having some fundamental disagreements it was a real pleasure and reminded me why I chose to teach in a liberal arts college!
They were Michael Brunelli, Andrew Basye, and Timur Jabiev.
I hope to have them in the studio again.
Tune in to listen to Adrian Wyllie, Libertarian candidate for Governor of Florida, discuss his campaign and the issues that set him apart from the other candidates with Jesse and me. We hope to get callers too and especially welcome socialists/greens who have little representation in Florida (or the US for that matter) and who are the other side of the real political debate.

Good piece on the usual imperialist crap in the New York Times
BTW, despite all the serious problem with the US education system, the fundamental problem is economic. The US still has the best engineers in the world and extremely productive workforce but the jobs are outsourced abroad because multinational corporations find it more profitable to employ cheep low-level slave labor than expensive top-notch US labor. Education is NOT the problem, it’s a (very serious) symptom of the failure of the US political-economy.
