As we head into the last few days of the presidential race, we ask Bill
Bonner, bestselling author and founder of Agora Financial what he thinks
the biggest issues on the electoral agenda should be. We also ask about
other litmus tests that might give us a better sense of where the US is
headed. What does he look at, and how important is an indicator like
GDP in telling us how well our economy is doing? And prices for
gasoline, soda, hotel rooms, and batteries have risen sharply in areas
affected by Superstorm Sandy. With inefficiencies created by long lines,
Lauren and Demetri discuss if there is a case for price gouging in
today's Loose Change. They also discuss the usefulness of a ‘Business
Tsar’, and why president after president feels the need to intervene in
the market in order to help the very businesses that his policies are
hurting.
