The Wrecking Crew
Happy Monday Caférs,
With 106 days of the current debacle administration to go, Tom Frank joins us for book club this week to talk The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule.
The book takes a long hard look at the conservative revolution-- deregulation, lobbying, and institutionalized incompetence-- and the considerable aftermath. Joining Frank to talk shop will be Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project On Government Oversight (POGO), Dean Baker, the economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Chris Hayes, Washington editor for The Nation, and Greg Anrig, vice president of policy at The Century Foundation and writer.
We have yet to have a more timely discussion at Café-- please join us.

It sure is timely and an excellent choice. But also timely (perhaps next club?) is The Divine Right of Capital which really shines a new light on what the heck happened to the markets and the economy.

Will it be 106 days? According to Representative Sherman, Congress was threatened with martial law if the bail-out failed. Some are maintaining that in the event of a serious economic crisis, our President has authority to unilaterally declare martial law and postpone elections.
