Progressive talk show host Leslie Marshall and USW International Vice President of Human Affairs Fred Redmond discussed how the Republican are threatening to shut down the government as they remain servants to corporate and big money special interests at the expense of working American families.
"It's a sad thing for the American people that we have to go through this manufactured crises again," said Redmond, "when the real crises in America is the shortage of jobs."
They talked about the 21 million people out of work, stagnant wages and a Republican Party whose only concern is to waste taxpayer dollars in their futile attempt to defund Affordable Care Act.
The wealthiest people have captured virtually almost all of the rewards of growth while most Americans are yet to experience of recovery.
