About this episode
I just finished writing an article for Jacobin about the Brett Favre welfare scandal--which was a direct result of the grotesque and frankly Dickensian "welfare reform" law signed by Bill Clinton in 1996 to fulfill Big Dog's 1992 campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it." Turns out that welfare as we then knew it was a whole lot less corrupt. I'll kick off the episode by talking about that and then take some calls (about that or whatever else is on everyone's minds today).
