603: Revolution of Dignity

Greek Independence Day, Lord's Resistance Army, Joseph Kony Hunt

President Obama issued a proclamation for Greek Independence Day and extended the War Powers Act to deploy 150 additional personnel to assist in the hunt for Joseph Kony. The hosts question why the official notification to Congress uses "approximate" numbers (280 personnel) rather than an exact count.

Human Resource Valuation, Greek Independence Day, and IMF

The hosts compare the statistical "value" of human beings across different regions, noting a report that values a UK citizen at roughly $700,000 compared to $50,000 paid to Afghan villagers. President Barack Obama's proclamation of March 25th as Greek Independence Day is criticized as hubris given the ongoing economic austerity measures imposed on Greece by the IMF.
