Check it out! Our pal Bill Scher has been invited to the the White House. We talk about how that happened, and dig into the Progressive Breakfast.
We also talk to Chris Hellman of the National Priorities Project, whose work has also been used by the White House, as well as the media, to help people see where their tax dollars are going. He’s on a new task force looking at ways to cut the defense budget in order to reduce the deficit.
