Tom Becker hosts this episode of the Old Mole in which we hear about the need to save the Postal Service and the need to abolish prisons, as well as about the economic incentives behind the violence of the Mexican drug trade and "drug war"; and the latest revelations about banksters ripping us off for trillions of dollars. Musical interludes are from Charlie Musslewhite.
