NOMI PRINS
Monday, October 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Former Wall Street insider Nomi Prins traveled across the U.S. to document the effects of George W. Bush's economic and social policies: 46 million people without health insurance, college students facing a 34% increase in tuition, a doubling of the price of oil since 2003 (and a quadrupling of Exxon Mobil's profits), and more. Her book, Jacked: How "Conservatives" are Picking Your Pocket (Whether You Voted for Them or Not) (PoliPoint), provides the details. "This is the first book I have read that sees the effects of Republican incompetence and meanness through the eyes of ordinary Americans. The people in this book are our thoughtful, hardworking neighbors who are not political, and who do not, for the most part, rail against Bush. They are simply trying to get through the day." - Howard Dean.
