"Thom Hartmann explains why he thinks it would actually be a good thing if The United States went off the so-called "fiscal cliff'"
From Thom Hartmann
So even though America has an unemployment rate at 7.9%, Thom Hartmann is advocating for cuts to people on Unemployment Insurance, as well as for low-skilled, low-income workers, who need public assistance, so they can afford housing, food, health care, etc. And hope by doing that, American voters will get pissed off (my words) at House Republicans and not just give Democrats the House back in 2 years, but allow them to retain the Senate, for President Obama's last two years.
If Mr. Hartmann believes a word that he's saying here, he should try to tell that to 10 million or so unemployed Americans right now, as well as the 40 million or so Americans who are in poverty, including a lot of people who are currently working in poverty.
