Simon Johnson: "The United States Is A Banana Republic" (Video)

 

Former chief economist for the IMF, Simon Johnson was a guest Friday night on Real Time With Bill Maher.  Jon Meachem and Muhammad Yunus also appeared.  Johnson touched briefly on why he famously called the United States a 'banana republic' 2 months ago.  Something vague about deficits and debt and future unfunded obligations.

Bill points out that Obama is still supporting Wall Street bankers over taxpayers.  Bravo, Bill.  The audience agreed.  Decent clip after the loop.

Update: The video has been pulled by Youtube for some reason.  I will post another version of the clip as soon as it becomes available.

If too many actually HEAR the TRUTH...could be bad for politicians. Can you say Bastille Day?
