With college tuition rates soaring and student loan interest rates set to rise in the coming months, the burden of student loan debt is becoming a serious problem for college graduates. To make matters worse, the lending industry is filled with more scammers and predators than we can count. Recently, lawsuits were filed against several lending institutions that have been accused of fraud for their student loan lending practices. Mike Papantonio discusses these suits with attorney Jim Magazine who is handling some of those cases on behalf of borrowers.

Papantonio: Oil Industry Owns Us
If you were to take 90 of the countries around the world according to GDP ranking and compare the entire economies of those countries against simply the pure profits of Exxon, Exxon would be more economically powerful and profitable than every one of those 90 countries. Where does sales analysis of $30 billion a year leave a company like Exxon - or Shell, or BP, or Chevron? It leaves them in control of our lives.

Papantonio: The Tyranny of Oil
The oil industry is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful industries on the entire planet. Their yearly profits exceed that of most small countries and combined, the five biggest oil companies control more than $100 billion dollars worth of the United States economy every year. On top of those profits, these companies are also enjoying government tax breaks and subsidies that, combined, top $40 billion every year. And they're using that money to buy politicians, political favors, and lobbyists to make sure that the government will never be able to regulate their industry to help consumers. Mike Papantonio talks about the numerous ways in which big oil has become an almost undefeatable titan with author Antonia Juhasz.

Papantonio: How The Wisconsin Uprising Was Hijacked
Last week, Scott Walker managed to retain his office as governor of Wisconsin, in spite of the fact that he's one of the most disliked governors in the country. After 18 months of protests, rallies, and outside help, unions and other activists were unsuccessful in their efforts to oust Walker and his Republican cronies. And although Walker's friends helped him win by pouring tens of millions of dollars into the race, that wasn't the only deciding factor. Another factor that has gone overlooked is that the activists who started the recall drive and protests allowed their movement to be hijacked by politicos -- on both sides -- who managed to obscure the message that was so clear at the beginning of the Wisconsin uprising. Mike Papantonio talks about why this happened and why there's still hope -- with Mother Jones reporter Andy Kroll.

Papantonio: Media Gives Romney Free Pass On Bain Capital
The mainstream media has done a great job of getting the story completely wrong about Bain Capital. And when they aren't getting the story wrong, they're making excuses for Romney's history at Bain and telling us that his professional career shouldn't be relevant to his political career. The truth is that Romney's tenure at Bain Capital serves as the blueprint for what he wants to do to America. Mike Papantonio spoke with Alternet's Josh Holland recently about what a "Bain-America" would look like and why the media wants to ignore the ugly truth.

Papantonio: How Wall Street Drives Gas Prices Upward
In the last few weeks gas prices have been slowly falling but most Americans are still feeling pain at the pump. Republican talking heads would have you believe that this pain is the result of President Obama's so-called hostility toward oil companies but the truth is that the bankers and speculators on Wall Street are the heart of the problem. Oil speculators are able to make a quick buck on oil futures and this helps drive the cost up for all of us. Mike Papantonio discusses the role that speculators play in raising our gas prices, as well as what we can do about it, with Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen's energy program.

Papantonio: Fighting The Right Wing Voter Suppression Tricks
The GOP came up with a plan shortly after the 2008 elections -- they figured out that if they could just keep 1% of voters from reaching the polls in just nine states in 2012 then they could take back the White House. And they're doing everything they can to make that a reality. Florida governor Rick Scott is already locked in a legal battle over voter purging with the Justice Department and numerous states across the country are working on other efforts to prevent minorities, the elderly, and college students from reaching the polls this November. But there is hope, as Democratic leaders in Congress are working to pass legislation to prevent the GOP's voter suppression tactics from being implemented. Mike Papantonio spoke with author and Nation contributor Ari Berman recently about what's being done to stop this illegal voter suppression.

Papantonio: Antonin Scalia Suffers From Character Leprosy
I read the dissent opinion of Antonin Scalia in the Arizona immigration case that was decided this week and it helped me round out my mental picture of what Scalia has become. Without bogging down in all the details of what he said, the big picture is that Scalia has nothing but contempt for virtually everyone who is different than him. Everyone who speaks a different language, follows a different religion, and has skin that is a different color, everyone who has not been born into his anointed social class. Antonin Scalia is a sorry, hateful, morally crippled old man who will be shaping the future of this country until old, old age provides America some relief.

Papantonio: Corporate Rats Are Gobbling Up American Resources
In much the same way that big rats will kill smaller mice to gain control of the last bit of cheese in a cage, the big rats in America are after that last bit of cheese, in an empire they have helped destroy. The big rats help perpetrate that big lie about American exceptionalism, and America the super power, in hopes that no one will recognize the truth; in hopes the rest of us will remain blind to what is, in real life, occurring all around us.

Papantonio: The Fracking Industry's Dirty Secrets
The fracking industry is one of the most secretive and deceptive industries in the country. They've managed to operate with little to no oversight from the federal government and they've kept their secret fracking formulas from being revealed to the public even though the chemicals they're using are leaching into groundwater supplies and poisoning men, women, and children. Mike Papantonio talks about how the fracking industry is accomplishing all of this with Mike Ludwig, a reporter for TruthOut.org.

Papantonio: Why Washington Loves Jamie Dimon
JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon had to testify before Congress recently to explain why his company, and so many other Wall Street banks, were treating our economy like their own personal casino. But instead of being faced with tough questions, Dimon was welcomed as a hero by Republicans on Capitol Hill and the result has been described by the media as a "love fest" between the GOP and Jamie Dimon. Mike Papantonio talks about why the average person shouldn't have any love for Jamie Dimon — or any of the other Wall Street fraudsters — with attorney James Kauffman.

Papantonio: Romney In Deep With Oil Lobbyists
You may not know the name Jack Gerard but that's a name that everyone listening needs to become familiar with. Gerard is the president of the American Petroleum Institute and he's become one of the most successful and influential lobbyists in the country. He's said publicly that his goal is to place an oil lobbyist in every district in America and he says that he will be able to make people actually cheer for the oil industry by the time he's finished as president. And the end of presidency might come next year if the rumors are to be believed, as some credible sources are now reporting that Jack Gerard might actually become Mitt Romney's chief of staff. Mike Papantonio talks about this possibility, as well as Jack Gerard's sordid history, with investigative journalist Lee Fang.

Papantonio: Romney's Assault on Public Workers
A dismal jobs report for the month of May has Republicans chomping at the bit, telling us that, even though we've seen 26 months of consecutive job growth, Obama is still terrible at creating jobs and handling our economy. But when you look at the numbers, it's the public sector -- government employees like teachers, firefighters, police officers -- who are losing their jobs at unprecedented rates. And a Mitt Romney presidency would only make their situation much, much worse. Mike Papantonio spoke with Bryce Covert from The Nation magazine recently about what Romney would do to public sector employees.

Papantonio: Republicans Bury Their Heads In The Sand on Climate Change
Recently, legislators in Virginia proposed a plan that would prevent the government from monitoring sea level rises that resulted from climate change. In other parts of the country, Republican officials are trying to prevent science teachers and other educators from being able to talk about climate change in the classroom. This is all part of the attack on science that is being launched by Republicans across the country and it's an attack that has resulted from Republicans believing that they actually know more about science than professionals. Mike Papantonio talks about why Republicans think this way with Chris Mooney, author of the new book "The Republican Brain."

Papantonio: What's STILL The Matter With Kansas?
The Republican plan for America is simple -- privatize everything, let corporate America do whatever they want with no regulations, let them extract every available resource from our country to turn a profit, and then move on to the next victim. One of the places where the GOP is managing to put this plan into action is in Kansas where republican governor Sam Brownback is turning the state into corporate America's personal wasteland. Mike Papantonio talks about What's Happening in Kansas with Thomas Frank, the best-selling author of the book "What's the Matter with Kansas."
