Moyers & Company. Economic Malpractice and the Millennials

Your Playlist:

Description

There are 80-plus million Americans today who were born roughly between l978 and 2000, and they're getting hit hard by economic circumstances created over the past 30 years by The One Percent. How has this affected their outlook? And how does it impact Barack Obama's future? In this episode of Moyers and Company, Bill Moyers talks with a millennial who has dedicated herself to tackling the economic inequality that is destroying opportunity for her generation. At 3l, Heather McGhee directs the Washington office of Demos, a research and advocacy group that fights for financial reforms and consumer protection. Moyers also hosts conservative economist Bruce Bartlett, who worked on domestic policy for the Reagan White House, and who now argues that right-wing tax policies are destroying the country's economic foundation.
