Journalist Kurt Hackbarth (@KurtHackbarth) joins us to talk about AMLO's victory in the recall election, the right-wing think tanks worried about public energy, and the NYT anti-AMLO coverage.   Read up here:  https://jacobinmag.com/2022/04/us-think-tanks-amlo-morena-energy-reform-baker-institute

Also, Greg Abbott's migrant van stunt is barely obscuring a Texas-sized border mess of his own creation. And we were right about Jayapal as CPC endorses Shontel Brown.

With respect to this issue of lobbying and think-tanks, Bruce Bartlett has written about this issue at length as well, as it relates to policy making and the Congressional research service. During the 1990s Gingrich, effectively cut 1,000 public sector jobs that were related to in-house policy making and research in Congress. Instead of doing the work in-house, the work instead gets farmed out to think-tanks funded by the private sector. So in addition to the PR and lobbying, much of the policy making has effectively been privatized. Not surprisingly a neoliberal process produces neoliberal policy. As far as AMLO goes, he sounds a lot like FDR.
