A new book called &#8220;Jacked: How &#8216;Conservatives&#8217; are Picking your Pocket (Even if you didn&#8217;t Vote for Them),&#8221; takes apart Republicans policies, scandals, and blunders. Jacked is written by Nomi Prins, a senior fellow at Demos, a public policy think tank in New York City. Her book gives the reader a guided tour of a typical American wallet. Each chapter matches a wallet item to a set of political topics. For example, the driver&#8217;s license leads to a discussion of gasoline prices, energy policy, and Iraq. <\/p>\n<p>Read a review of Nomi&#8217;s Prins&#8217; book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.demos.org\/pub1011.cfm\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>For more information about Demos, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.demos.org\">www.demos.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Nomi Prins, author of &#8220;Jacked: How &#8216;Conservatives&#8217; are Picking your Pocket (Even if you didn&#8217;t Vote for Them),&#8221; and a senior fellow at Demos, a public policy think tank in New York City As we come upon the Congressional elections in November, Republicans are gearing up to fight to keep [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
