Best of 2010: Unemployed Workers, Thomas Frank & Chris Lehmann
December 27, 2010We're bringing you our top shows of 2010 this week, on the Web and on TV. We hope you enjoy! This one's from December 2. Members of Congress talking about shutting the government down until they can extend tax cuts for the wealthy are "in denial, blinded by their greed," says Constance Kaplan, "They're not concerned with us." Connie is a law librarian who's worked for JP Morgan Chase, among other companies, and is a '99er'--she's been unemployed for over 99 weeks and has thus lost all government unemployment benefits.Chris Lehmann & Thomas Frank: Rich People Things
December 3, 2010"I guess I missed the part of the book of Genesis where Moses says 'Let my people make $250,000 a year or more,'" jokes Chris Lehmann, author of the new book Rich People Things (from OR Books, also publisher of At The Tea Party). And Thomas Frank notes, "It's expensive to be a populist these days!"Unemployed Workers, Chris Lehmann & Thomas Frank, and the Big Float
