Join Doc this week as he interviews a past guest and friend of this program, Lowell Ponte, who knows how to breakdown the reality of the fiscal cliff. With Thanksgiving over and Christmas on its way don’t forget to order Doc’s book, Rock Splitting Politics, for your political friends and enemies. Doc plays a clip of U-2 singing “Running to Stand Still” as it was sung by Bono live in Paris in 1987. Doc was there at that concert so many years ago and he talks about America’s spending habit being compared to an heroine addict. Tough words for a tough addiction habit and if you are not familiar with the U-2 song here is a link to the song sung live in Paris in 1987. Listen closely to see if you can hear Doc in the background crowd sounds. Also for the first one thousand callers, Lowell Ponte will send free of charge and no cost shipping his new book, The Great Debasement, so be the first to call at 1-800-630-1494. (Another great holiday gift by the way that will cost you absolutely nothing but the time to make a free call or you can miss out on being one of the first 1,000 callers and buy it at Amazon.com which is linked to the title.)
