The Rick Smith Show for 3-17-2017

Will Fischer, Director of Government Affairs at VoteVets.org joins Rick to discuss how the massive cutting of a wide range of social and economic development programs being slashed by the Trump administration’s America First Budget will affect veterans and their families and what needs to be done to raise awareness.

Matías Vernengo, Professor of Economics at Bucknell University joins Rick to talk about the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to hike interest rates and how the combination of rates hikes and an austerity budget could lead to very troublesome economic times in the months ahead.

Isaiah J. Poole, Communications Director with People’s Action and the People’s Action Institute joins Rick to discuss the massive redistribution of wealth scheme being peddled by the radicals leading the Republican Party as their 30-year war on the poor reaches new heights.
