Listen "Re-Rigging the Economy for Workers"
Episode Synopsis
After a brief update on photo ID law, we discuss the critical role trade and outsourcing is going to play in the 2016 election. We review Citizen Action's tour with Russ Feingold in Green Bay and Milwaukee which featured conversations with workers who have been impacted by outsourcing. Robert tells us about a new report that finds Wisconsin has the 2nd highest medical costs in the nation. Jorna discusses an important CapTimes article on how women in politics have to deal with sexist garbage. This week's Paul Ryan Watch feature finds our fair haired boy preparing to jump on the Trump train while his Tea Party opponent goes on the attack from a motorcycle.
