The State of the Economy

In tonight’s State of the Union address, the state of the economy is expected to be President Obama’s main focus. We’ll speak with Leo Hindery, Jr., Chairman of the Smart Globalization Initiative at the New America Foundation, managing partner of InterMedia Partners, LP, and former economic advisor to President Obama, and Hendrik Hertzberg, staff writer for The New Yorker, and author of ¡OBÁMANOS!: The Rise of a New Political Era about the proposed middle-class initiatives and spending freeze. We’ll talk about solutions to the high rate of unemployment, our trade deficit, and what can quicken the economic recovery.
