On Sunday, August 7, former Regis University radio host Jimmy Sengenberger filled in once again for Ross Kaminsky on Newstalk 710 KNUS’s Backbone Radio.
In Hour One of the show, Jimmy is joined by Dr. Marvin Goodfriend, Professor of Economics at the Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business, for an in-depth discussion on the S&P downgrade of the nation’s credit rating and the crumbling state of the economy. The economy is collapsing around us. Obama is impotent and unwilling to fix it. Is a double-dip recession imminent?
Dr. Goodfriend is a researcher at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Carnegie Mellon Professor of Economics and Chairman of the Gailliot Center for Public Policy, and a former senior staff economist in the Reagan Administration. This is a fascinating and, though a month has passed, still all-too-relevant discussion you won’t want to miss!
Then, Jimmy engages in a hilarious conversation with Vice-President Jomer Biden – pure, unadulterated Biden at his best – about the S&P downgrade of the U.S. debt and Obama’s non-plans on the economy. Sad but so true. Enjoy!
