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.

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.
