Journalist Jessica Bruder explains the American retirement crisis, more people living in vans across America, Nickled and Dimed meets On the Road, the new low income labor force, where mobile workers end working, the collapse of American retirement security and the difficulty of political organizing. On The Fun Half: Jeb Bush leaning towards running for President, more follow up on the Sam Harris torture, Rafael Cruz with more insanity, why we need popular movements for social welfare, Mark Begich opens a lead in Alaska, why this is good for Social Security, Rick Weiland accuses national Democrats of undermining his campaign, the Red States where minimum wage is on the ballot, a call from H Jon Benjamin and your calls and IMs.
