On the Friday, July 8, 2011 Equal Time Radio show we talk about the not-so-sexy but extremely important topic of the debt ceiling. August 2nd is quickly approaching and the GOP is playing chicken with the full faith and credit of the United States. This doesn’t look like it is going to end well. House majority whip Eric Cantor is literally investing in the failure of the US government AND he’s doing everything he CAN to make sure that happens.
We talk with Andrew Fieldhouse from the Economic Policy Institute, who joins us to talk about the simple, direct letter to Congress written and signed by over two hundred economic experts from across the country. It states in clear terms what the effect would be IF the Regressive Republicans don’t call off their rabid dog tea bagging freshmen.
We also talk with Tacoma City Councilman Ryan Mello about the week of gay pride and the rainbow flag flying over the Tacoma municipal building.
