Labor Hit Hard and Wall Street Gets Rewarded

By Ian Masters | Background Briefing

As labor is being hit the hardest is being short-changed, we get an analysis of how corporate America and Wall Street are being rewarded with stimulus money, some of which is going to the most undeserving private equity hedge fund managers who are rolling in dough. Aaron Glantz, a journalist and Senior Reporter at Reveal News whose new book is Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall Street Kingpins, Hedge Fund Managers, Crooked Banks, and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream, joins us to discuss his latest article “‘I’ll be the oversight’, Trump says as his political appointees protect Wall Street and real estate”. We discuss the unprecedented giveaways to corporate America overseen by the poster boy for homewreckers, Steve Mnuchin, particularly to real estate investors like Trump and Jared Kushner.

Background Briefing with Ian Masters is heard Sundays at 11 AM and Monday thru Thursdays at 5 PM
