Red State Road Trip 2: The Economic Perfect Storm (Video – Part X)

In the summer of 2008

Did you know that Truthout is a nonprofit and independently funded by readers like you? If you value what we do, please support our work with a donation.

In the summer of 2008, record high gas prices and runaway home foreclosures combined for the makings of an economic perfect storm.
Decreasing tax revenue drained the budgets of municipalities forcing cuts in basic services. The shock waves continue to this day.

Urgent appeal for your support: 8 Days Left

With Trump’s fascist agenda driving the narrative, it’s the duty of independent media to disrupt corporate propaganda.

Yet, at such a pivotal moment, donations to Truthout have been declining. Why? Blatant political censorship from Big Tech.

As we face mounting repression, Truthout appeals for your support. Please donate during our fundraiser — we have 8 days left to raise $48,000.
