Summary
Guest host, Jefferson Smith sits in for Thom Hartmann with thoughts on professional sports, economic inequality and U.S. Presidents. Though regularly winning big at the Olympics and professional sports, regrettably America comes in last when it comes to health care. What can we learn about income inequality from the recent Super Bowl? Also Tess Fields, Executive Director of Home Share Oregon, explains affordable housing through homesharing. We believe that this is a direct way to prevent housing instability, foreclosure, and homelessness.
