The Rick Smith Show 12-14-2016

Irwin Aronson, labor attorney and Rick Smith Show contributor joins Rick to talk about recent reports from Harrisburg, PA and Washington DC about privatizing more governmental functions under the guise of allowing charitable organizations to run the programs and why this is just another case of old, bad policy being dressed up and made to appear new again.

Alex Rowell, Research Assistant with the Economic Policy team at the Center for American Progress joins Rick to discuss his recent article on what to expect from President-Elect Donald Trump’s choice for Secretary of Health and Human Service and what needs to be done to stop Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from being gutted and privatized.
