Working America's Unwanted Jobs
MSNBC : Gabriel Thompson's book Working in the Shadows reveals what working like an immigrant in America is really like.
Surprisingly enough, the conversation starts and ends in agreement. Vanden Heuvel points out the inability of Scarborough's "male, stale and pale" GOP to address the crises facing America and Scarborough, like too many wistful Republicans, hearkens back to the ideology of Reaganism/Thatcherism for answers. They proceed to disagree over Reagan's legacy and the promise of an industrial policy and final agree on the need for a "green program, ala Teddy Roosevelt." "We can agree on that" Scarborough responds, "because you know why? Conservatives conserve."
I never thought I'd write this: I wish more Republicans were taking a page from Joe Scarborough.
