Saturday on the Rick Smith Show Rick will be talking to economist John Schmitt, PA State Representative Camille "Bud" George, and Economy In Crisis.org's Craig Harrington. 

John Scmitt is a Senior Economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.  His recently released piece, "The Unions of the States" takes a look at unionization rates in all 50 states.  His findings are not surprising.  In general, union members earn better wages, have better health coverage, and more defined benefit pension plans.

Camille "Bud" George is a long time Pennsylvania State Representative who recently wrote an article in the Harrisburg Patriot News titled, "All signs point to electric deregulation failure."  What should be done to fix this failure?  And, where is the TEA Bag anger?  After all this is akin to a 30% tax, but instead of going into the state coffers investors around the globe are reaping this massive windfall.  

Craig Harrington, host of Wake Up America! on Blip.tv and journalist for EconomyinCrisis.org will join Rick to talk about trade policy and the need for an industrial plan.
