Show, debuted this spring. Join us weekdays for news and
politics aimed at independent thinkers. Visit LouDobbsRadio.com

Joining Lou on Thursday will be Congressman BRAD SHERMAN. The
California Democrat will talk to Lou about President-elect
Obama’s stimulus package and whether America can spend its way
out of our national financial mess.

The markets are bracing for a devastating December jobs report,
which is due later this week. PETER MORICI, professor of
international business at the University of Maryland, will
discuss what to expect and what it will mean for America’s
middle class.

And with the 111th Congress now in session, plenty of big
challenges await House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. KATHERINE SKIBA,
senior writer for U.S. News & World Report, will cover a few of
them with Lou.

As always, Lou will take your calls to discuss the issues that
matter most—and to get your thoughts on the direction America
