How’s your stimulus? The Obama administration has been getting a lot of flack lately for a so-called jobless recovery. Only about 10 percent of the stimulus money has actually been distributed and some are getting impatient. But those who are keeping an eye on the stimulus money at the state level say that it’s having a real impact.

Damon Hewitt, Assistant Council NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Chris Keeley Associate Director of Common Cause, NY, David Dix, National Green Director League of Young Voters, and Juhu Thukral, Director of Law and Advocacy at the Opportunity Agenda on how the stimulus money’s being spent. 

Also, Les Leopold, author of The Looting of America and Executive Director of the Labor Institute, on how he thinks we could create jobs.  

Then, Andrea Batista Schlesinger, author of The Death of Why?: The Decline of Questioning and the Future of Democracy, on the decline of skepticism and the inquisitorial mind and what it means for democracy. Schlesinger also discusses her decision to join Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s re-election campaign. What has she learned and what do progressives have to learn about working for change inside and outside.

Finally, an investigation by Physicians for Human Rights reveals that Bush era war crimes began before Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. In their new video they document the deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners believed to have been killed in container trucks by US-allied Afghan troops. What role did the Bush administration play in covering up the massacre?
