For Marketplace, Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Today on Marketplace: For the first time ever in the U.S. student loan debt surpassed credit card debt. We look at what another recession would feel like following a report from the San Francisco Fed that says odds are about 50-50 that we’ll get a recovery or a double dip within the next two years. The EPA takes aim at cement plants. Google weighs using data for profit. A look a what Meg Whitman is buying with her campaign funds. And investing in oil; Is it socially responsible? Plus, these are the songs we played:
- Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood Buy
- We Here – Illa J Buy
- Junior Kickstart – The Go! Team Buy
- The Chase – London Funk AllstarsWatch video
- Afro Surf – Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra Buy
Marketplace is on a mission.
We believe Main Street matters as much as Wall Street, economic news is made relevant and real through human stories, and a touch of humor helps enliven topics you might typically find…well, dull.
Through the signature style that only Marketplace can deliver, we’re on a mission to raise the economic intelligence of the country—but we don’t do it alone. We count on listeners and readers like you to keep this public service free and accessible to all. Will you become a partner in our mission today?
