In The Red with David Jette and Josh Androsky

we're back with part two of our chat with research director of the Modern Money Network, NATHAN TANKUS!

we do a deep dive on MMT, the history of money, why US government debt is just another form of money and nothing to be afraid of, and how colonialism is more responsible for hyperinflation than monetary policy... and all general rudeness to economic status quo you've come to expect from the fellas.

when we say we're not oilmen, we'll think you'll agree. but you know who is? THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA! that's why we bring on our son and partner DEREK DAVISON to tell us how the saudis, the russians, and those two white guys with snake-dreads from the matrix sequels are dealing with the historic dip in the oil markets.

One of the authors of Rashida Tlaib and Pramila Jayapal's incredible new stimulus bill, Rohan Grey joins us to break down what we think is the most promising stimulus bill in american history. seriously. better than any single thing passed during the great depression. it's THAT good.

also get your local reps to sign onto the chicago socialist aldermen's proposal to bail out our local governments here: http://localbailoutforthemany.org/

We welcome our first guest to the show, HuffPo senior reporter, and maybe the only person who wrote an appropriate article about the horrible bailout bill in a mainstream publication, the one and only Zach Carter!

We talk about how the Democrats screwed us, and also his new book The Price of Peace, Money, Democracy, and The Life Of John Maynard Keynes (heads up: NOT the guy from Tool)

Keynes was one of the key financial architects of The New Deal AND The NHS-- seems like a pretty good resumé if ya ask me!

He's always had a lot to teach us about how countries can and should respond to massive downturns, but his name seems to only come up in SeRiOuS eCoNoMiC CiRcLeS when free-market capitalism inevitably breaks. 

WELL THE SHIT IS BROKEN NOW BABY so let's talk about him!
