TheBigPictureRT·Jan 11, 2013

Dr. Michael Hudson, Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends, joins Thom Hartmann.

On July 11, 2008, Douglas Bullock, then a resident of N7523 Summit Rd, in Plymouth, WI, wrote a check for $2.31 to new Political Action Committee (PAC) in Wisconsin.  This was the opening contribution to the Koch Industries Inc.
