I'm listening to this interview between David Frum, right-wing speechwriter and market enthusiast, and Thomas Frank, whose new book "The Wrecking Crew", details the right's demolition of the structure of American government, at least the social support bits.
So far Frum has tried to blame the mortgage crisis on Freddie and Fannie, labeling them as government agencies though they were privatized in 1969. Jump right in and detail the argument threads between these guys, with special attention to fact-based and proportion-based criticisms.
Go go go!

UPDATE: The radio network is the CBC, the show is The Current, and you can hear streaming audio by going here http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/ If you come in later, you can go stream the feed from another time zone (go west young bloggers!) And if you come in really late, you can hear the piece once it's archived -- not available yet. --NM
