Former Congressional staffer on how money divides politics | Marketplace.org
Jeremy Hobson: Congress has left Washington for the August recess, and still no firm plans to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax increases due to go into effect at the end of this year. Those cuts were set in motion during the debt ceiling fight, which Mike Lofgren remembers well. It convinced him to pack his bags after nearly 30 years working for Republicans on Capitol Hill.
He's just written a book called "The Party is Over: How Republicans Went Crazy, Democrats Became Useless, and the Middle Class Got Shafted" and he's with us now to talk about it. Good morning...
Interesting interview.
