The Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist explains why our top priority should be getting America back to work - if only Congress and the President would stop throwing distractions in the way.

Later on the show, Bill explains how last week's fiscal cliff deal gave tens of billions in tax breaks to Wall Street and corporations -- what even The Wall Street Journal calls a "crony capitalist blowout."
