Vaya Con Muñoz 5.28.16
This week Puerto Rico is on the table, almost literally, as the House Committee on National Resources voted to create a seven-member fiscal control board. Its sole mission is to pay back Wall Street $72 billion in debt. That means lowering the minimum wage to $4.25, closing more schools, reducing health and safety services. It means chaos and destruction so that greedy hedge funders get 35 cebts on every dollar they lent. There’s a better way to pay back debt. It’s called, responsibly. But the US Congress is not interested.
Also on the program, filmmaker and critic Larry Hott looks at “Last Days in Vietnam,” an extraordinary documentary by Rory Kennedy. Great timing. President Obama was just there.
Here’s a link to watch a preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTWX-BB4aAA
Olga Tañon’s fitting mega hit, “Que se vaya” marches us out of the show. It is dedicated to the proposed fiscal control board.
