Episode #268 Chris Hayes (Maddow, The Nation) discusses the crazy budget cuts, Democrats’ terrible negotiation skills, the broken political system, Paul Ryan’s insane plan to starve poor people and kill the elderly, and Hayes also explains why he decided to become a journalist. Follow him on Twitter @chrislhayes.
Also, Derrick Crowe of Robert Greenwald’s Rethink Afghanistan (http://rethinkafghanistan.com/iou/) talks about how a whopping 27 cents out of every dollar you’ll pay to the IRS goes to fund the Afghanistan War and other military spending. Visit Rethink Afghanistan to see how much of your money is spent on the Afghanistan occupation, print out the report, and hand deliver it to your representative.
Allison and Jamie also give a quick recap about what to do during the zombie apocalypse, and the massive budget cuts, which will cut WIC (assistance for poor women, infants and children) by $500 million.
