Today’s show is significant for a particular reason. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignited the Right and many in the Establishment Democratic Party with her support for Modern Monetary Theory to support a grand Progressive agenda. In short, we can afford it if we adjust our economic model for humanity instead of one for the support of a Plutocracy, an Oligarchy, and to some extent Fascists.

This interview with Arliss Bunny that I conducted in St. Louis at the Netroots Nation conference is extremely informative. Make sure it is shared widely.

Arliss Bunny is a progressive rabbit American and economics wonk. She is the author of the well-reviewed e-book, The Smart Bunny’s Guide to Debt, Deficit and Austerity, which is being used as a textbook at the university level as an introduction to Modern Monetary Theory. Arliss has two more Smart Bunny books due out this Fall, The Smart Bunny’s Guide to the Federal Reserve and The Smart Bunny’s Guide to Social Security. Arliss also has her own weekly radio program and podcast, Hopping Mad with Will McLeod and Arliss Bunny, airing on Netroots Radio at 8AM on Mondays or via podcast on Stitcher, iTunes and GooglePlay. You can reach Arliss on Twitter as @ArlissBunny or @ImHoppingMad. Her personal motto is, “Politics. Economics. Carrots!”

USA Today: Spring flooding could be ‘unprecedented’ with 200 million Americans at risk: Spring flooding has already been disastrous, and it’s likely to get worse, federal forecasters announced Thursday. Floods could reach “unprecedented” and “potentially historic” levels.
Almost the entire eastern two-thirds of the nation should see flooding this spring, National Weather Service deputy director Mary Erickson said at a news conference on Thursday. Some 25 states are forecast to see “moderate” to “major” flooding, the weather service said.
The Midwest floods are “a preview of what we expect throughout the rest of the spring,” she said. “The flooding this year could be worse than what we have seen in previous years … even worse than the historic floods we saw in 1993 and 2011,” Erickson added.
The deadly, destructive flooding that began last week from Minnesota to Missouri has killed at least four people, caused more than $1.5 billion in estimated losses and damages and destroyed more than 2,000 homes.
