Afghanistan Banking, Missing Billions and the American Dream
Wolf Blitzer and CNN report on billions of US taxpayer dollars missing in Afghanistan due to a lack of oversight in the banking system. Senator Claire McCaskill notes that lessons from "pallets of cash" in Iraq have not been learned. The hosts contrast these missing billions with President Obama's rhetoric about the "American Dream" of just getting by.
Federalism vs. Nationalism and the Tenth Amendment Movement
The hosts clarify the historical and modern definitions of "Federalist," arguing that the term is often misused to describe those who actually support a strong national government. They advocate for the Tenth Amendment movement and decentralization, citing Thomas Woods' book on nullification. They argue the United States is too large to be governed effectively from a single central location.
