Some follow up comments to my appearance on the Ralph Nader show.

I am looking forward to our next Q&A session with Patreon Plus supporters this Friday.

Ralph Nader Radio Hour on Oct 16, 2022

Ralph welcomes Marta Tellado, president and CEO of Consumer Reports and author of “Buyer Aware: Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace.” She and Ralph tackle many consumer related issues including how consumer rights are also civil rights.

And previous guest Professor Michael Hudson rejoins us to forcefully rebut a listener comment about his view of the Federal Reserve, quantitative easing, and who runs the US Treasury.

Plus, Ralph has some choice words about how we should be thinking about immigration.

[Hudson begins at 43:20 minutes into the video.]

  12. Around the 50 minute mark when Michael states “If you have debt growing faster than the rest of the economy then more and more income has to be spent on debt service,” he forgets to mention medical debt which is huge.
