Right wing talking heads on TV love to tell us how the national debt and the federal budget deficit are going to plunge both our economy and our democracy into disarray. It’s an interesting talking point, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. The real problem facing our country is the complete and total control of our democracy by corporate interests, who in the last few years have bilked our government for hundreds of billions of dollars. Mike Papantonio discusses how and why this happened, and how the Republicans get away with spewing these bogus deficit talking points, with Jonathan Tasini, author of the new e-book “It’s Not Raining, We’re Being Peed On.”
