Stimulus; Bank Firesale; Dems and Race; GOP in S Carolina
Listen to/Watch entire show:
Will a stimulus package for the economy pass in time to make a difference or has the economy tanked – the New Depression, says Bob – Tony and Matt disagree. Is foreign ownership of US banks a danger to our economic stability? Race and the Democratic primaries: Obama’s new riff says Hillary’s experience is merely osmosis. And the Republicans are still neck and neck in South Carolina, will weather or religion determine the outcome?
