Summary: University of Maryland Smith School of Business professor Peter Morici, Reuters columnist David Jay Johnston and Young Turks host Cenk Uygur discuss and debate the House debt ceiling deal. How did we rack up the debt in the first place? Who are the winners and losers of this deal and how will it impact the economy?.

As the name suggests, it's all great interviews with members of Congress, Michael Moore, Arianna Huffington, economists (William K Black, Joseph Stiglitz and Simon Johnson to name a few), Media Matters reps, various journalists, reporters and much more. There are even some fun debates with conservatives.

1. Glossy Libertarians

Man oh man, how can that Libertarian economist get away with talking about Bush's deficit without acknowledging that ALL of the war monies weren't in the deficit numbers because they weren't ever in the budget until it was time for Obama to take over? Of all the disingenuous statements he made, that was the most telling. And I HATE having to stick up for Obama at this point....

2. Davis Cay Johnston is one of the best. (Highly recommend Perfectly Legal.)

Glad he was there to correct - along with Cenk -Morici's misstated facts.
