Bob Neer over at Blue Mass Group posted this interview with Columbia University professor, Jeffrey Sachs. The link takes you to his post, click on the link he provides to watch the 8 minute interview.
I think Professor Sachs is spot on in his remarks.
As Bob points out, the two newsreaders can't wrap their heads ...
... around his forthright exposition of the truth. It doesn't fit their narrative. I am sure Sachs won't be invited back.

I am not sure that things are quite as diabolical as Mr. Sachs implies. However, make no mistake about it, being a member of the middle class or less, you are in serious trouble for the foreseeable future. Particularly if the Republicans win further presence in Washington. It is painfully easy to say we cannot afford programs like Social Security and Medicare if you have the money to fund retirement yourself. As Marie Antoinette said in regard to the starving masses, "let them eat cake".
More recently it was Gov Patrick who said 'Let them eat cake' when it wa pointed out to him that his inaugural party was funded by fat cat special interests but not open to the public. He corrected the reporter and told her the State House was the site of the public celebration earlier in the day where a giant cake in the shape f the gold dome was avaialble to the commoners.
