Happy New Year! Starting of 2014 with some News Talk Political Red Meat!

Regardless of whether you are a party person, or a non party person, here are some thought starters on arguments for and against reinstating extended unemployment, raising the minimum wage, and inequality. 2014 is an election year, with the House of Representatives up for election, a third of the Senate, and Governor’s races across the country, including Minnesota.

The House has passed the Ryan/Murray budget bill much to the chagrin of Tea Party and Libertarian activists across the country, even though phones were ringing, and emails were burning up in the offices of members. What does it mean? What will the reaction be? Bob Davis takes a first look. Think the Obama Care problems are over? Are you ready for Insurance Companies to be bailed out when sign ups fall below projections in March? We celebrated 3.6 percent GDP growth last week so much that some analysts say America’s economic problems are over, and the Obama Care debacle will be forgotten in the sunshine of economic growth. Except … what if all that growth isn’t quite what we thought it was? Plus Bob’s favorite stories of the week. Podcast 84 gets you ahead of the talking points and sets up your weekend.

A lot to think about this on the weekend before Thanksgiving, 2013. The 50th commemoration of the JFK assassination, the difference between a Senate rule, tradition and the US Constitution, the developing dud that is Comet ISON, and more. And, one of the things I’ve have wanted to prepare for is covering a story as it is happening, on the scene. As a family emergency calls me to Virginia, I get to see what will be required to leave the broadcast bunker at a moment’s notice. This is a test of this system.
