Guest: Author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) has a new ad for Wisconsin and is taking donations to keep it playing on WI TV.
Obama is meeting up in Florida with Jeb Bush to discuss how his education reform is going to screw teachers and students more.
Author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston joins the show to talk about the spin that Republicans and the media are using to portray exactly who is contributing to public worker’s pensions in Wisconsin.
He also discusses his new piece on Tax.com about tax revenues are down over 30% since 2000 even though George W. Bush told us tax cuts would increase revenue. Laffer Curve anyone?
