Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Michael Krieger visits for first time and we meet up once again with John Rubino of “Dollar Collapse” fame. On 4/7/13, we “celebrated” our country’s 237th birthday. Or did we? Is this really America where we live now or is it an international dictatorship? Would Washington, Madison, and Jefferson, who risked their lives by challenging the evil doings of the King of England, view Edward Snowden as a villain or a hero? New revelations come forth daily about how extensively and perniciously Americans are being spied on and how information being gathered is being used even to blackmail the President and a Supreme Court Justice. Is NSA a fascist arm of corporate elites in the process of destroying capitalism and freedom? What does this tyranny mean for our financial markets and our overall well being? Those topics and more will be discussed with both of our journalist guests this week, both of whom have also had extensive experience on Wall Street. Also a stock pick of the week.
