10:00 AM, The Progressive News Team - Commentary on current issues, discussion of political climate, impromptu special guests, calls to action, your voices.
We'll follow up on some of your calls from last week, reading some of your e-mails and share current news worthy/breaking info that hasn't hit the mainstream or has been severely skewed to meet business and or political needs. In addition, we again invite you to bring to the table your thoughts, concerns, and ideas related to the current societal landscape.
10:08 AM, Max Fraad Wolff - Economist, professor, author, freelance writer and researcher. Max will continue (from last week) the discussion in his nontraditional no-holds-barred way, what he views is working regarding the government (and President Obama's) Stimulus initiative, what is not, and why. In light of the latest phased plan to recover our economy, Max briefly updates us on the overall state of the economy in the wake of the attempted revival of the Auto industry, foreign relations (including the escalation of U.S. military presence worldwide), and Health Care reform. We'll also discuss, in-depth, Max's latest editorial (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-fraad-wolff) titled "Inequality Explosion". How are these areas going to potentially affect us economically as individuals from a social/economic perspective? Is there anything we can do for our best interest to change the course of events?
10:30 AM, Glen Ford - A 30 year veteran of news, TV, and radio, also Founder and Executive Editor of 'BlackAgendaReport.com' (a popular website dedicated to bringing leading edge news on what's affecting Blacks specifically as well as the entire nation politically); Glen will discuss the state of the nation from his perspective on numerous fronts, with a special insight to the recent Health Care Bill, and include an interesting view of president elect Barack Obama. Don't miss this insightful, spirited and perhaps enlightening discussion.
