Robert Scheer's new book, "Appetites for Wealth" is featured (and a Great Watch)
Edited on Mon Nov-08-10 06:05 PM by KoKo
Robert Scheer's new book, "Appetites for Wealth" is featured on Grit TV.

by admin was published on November 6th, 2010

"Wall Street was blackmailing us," says Robert Scheer of the bank bailouts, "And we got nothing in return." It's not news to any viewers of GRITtv that Wall Street's tentacles ran throughout our election, but now that the election is over, we turn again to the running of government.

Scheer joined us in the studio recently to discuss his new book, The Great American Stickup, and we asked him to give us some thoughts for after the election as well. Most pressing of all, he asks if either bankers or politicians are capable of thinking in anyone's long-term interests.
