Politics, As Usual
Greece voted to stay in the Euro, but world markets remain uncertain today as the country has given power to the New Democracy party – the party that supports a European Union bailout. Discussions about the bailout will begin with considerations of the larger European economy, including Spain and Italy, and their own problems. More locally, we look at some of the vice presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney has been trotting out in recent weeks – searching for the one that might resonate with voters.
Guests:
Richard Parker, Oxford-trained economist and senior fellow and lecturer at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University
David Kravitz, co-founder of Blue Mass Group
Rob Eno, political blogger for Red Mass Group
