Rick will be talking to Economic Policy Institute's Policy Analyst Ethan Pollack about EPI's proposal to stem the loss of jobs in the U.S. The proposal is entitled "American Jobs Plan".

As the Senate passes a puny $15 billion "jobs" bill this week, I think that EPI has a bold, winning formula. Sara Robinson from the Campaign for America's Future will debunk the media's ascertain that the TEA baggers the next political movement.
