Episode 11: The Deficits Racket Part II -- Racist Media as Barrier to Govt Spending
Published 8 years, 6 months ago
Description
If broad government programs are so popular why don't we just vote them into existence? One of the primary barriers to democratic socialism--or spending in general--is racist media coverage and racist attitudes about how government programs are administered. In this episode we explore how media-fueled racism and means-tested nickel-and-diming makes radical change that much more difficult. With guests Sean McElwee and Noel Cazenave.
