Climate Change is Good For You!

There are two camps of climate change deniers -- the first being the ones who don't believe that climate change is even happening, in spite of the scientific consensus on the issue. And the other are the ones who say that it IS happening, but it's going to be a GOOD thing for the world. The second camp is arguably worse for the planet. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins speaks with Desi Doyen, co-host of the Brad Cast on KPFK and the Green News Report, to explain why the right wing media is still trying to sell us on the idea that climate change is good for us.

Papantonio: Outsmarting Bankers With Reverse Eminent Domain

Wall Street bankers made billions of dollars selling toxic subprime mortgages to people who had no idea what they were agreeing to, but they were sold on the idea that the bank would take care of them and they would finally be able to buy a house. After these people were duped into signing, the banks raised interest rates, forcing more mortgage defaults than you could count. But now cities across the country are fighting back against the banks. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio appears on The Thom Hartmann Program to discuss this.

Papantonio: GOP Sociopaths Learn Empathy

Lyndon Baines Johnson understood that his war on poverty was certainly designed as a way for Americans to responsibly help the least of our society live day-to-day with some small amount of dignity.

But LBJ was also responding to the advice of talented economists and sociologists who educated him on the idea that the way to build a sustainably strong economy is to begin at the bottom and grow upward. In other words, LBJ understood that when an American lives on the margins, where that individual is struggling to provide food and shelter for his family, then every dime that he gets by way of public assistance is going to be used to buy everything from groceries to clothing for his family.

LBJ and his advisers understood that the war on poverty was also in effect a building block for economic prosperity.

When the crazy train hit Washington, mostly during the Reagan years, intellectually dishonest conservative think tanks and opportunistic politicians told America that they had a new invention. They told America that their new invention would turn old worn-out notions of economics on its head and create even greater prosperity for our economy.

The big invention: the big lie was called trickle-down economics. Small groups of billionaire inheritance babies who had never gone hungry a day in their lives convinced the American media to sell the American public on the idea that if we give seemly wealthy individuals and corporations more money then that Grey Poupon billionaire crowd would share their windfalls with America's working poor and lesson the burden on taxpayers who were paying for LBJ's war on poverty.

The truth is that the American media figured out that the trickle-down fraud did not work. And they figured that out within five years of the time that they first helped sell the lie. But by the time the billionaire scam was already in place, the billionaires began buying up the media so the trickle-down trash argument could be recycled day after day on TV, radio, and the print media.
