On Saturday The Nation’s editor and publisher, Katrina vanden Heuvel, joined ABC’s This Week Roundtable to discuss the economic outlook. “The head of Karl Rove’s Crossroads last week conceded that the administration is winning the argument on fairness,” said vanden Heuvel. “I think the president needs to fuse that fairness argument with putting people back to work. And how do you invest in the middle class so that they become the job creators, not the one percent?”
