Happy Monday! Here's what's happening on the show today:
Tomorrow, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is scheduled to announce a new banking rescue plan that proposes to inject hundreds of billions more into financial institutions. Today in our first hour, we want to hear from you. At a moment when billions of taxpayer dollars go to major banks and fewer and fewer Americans receive loans or credit, what do you want from your bank? Then on our opinon page, New York Times reporter Allen Salkin will give a math lesson on how poor $500,000 per year really makes you. Mr. Salkin, I'd like to give that one a shot.
In our second hour, we'll be joined by author and sociologist Dalton Conley. According to Conley, we have entered a brand new terrain where the line between work and leisure has blurred thanks to advent of the BlackBerry and other techology. Our existence has been reshaped further by changes in our economy and our family structure. Conley will explain it all and break down the title of his new book, Elsewhere, USA: How We Got from the Company Man, Family Dinners, and the Affluent Society to the Home Office, BlackBerry Moms, and Economic Anxiety. Then, a day before voting in Israel, Steve Clemons, political blogger for thewashingtonnote.com argues "Give us Netanyahu. Please".
