*Tonight, one of President-Elect Obama’s primary policy
missions is affordable healthcare for all. Sen. Max Baucus,
Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, is working
on a healthcare plan of his own and has promised to make
healthcare reform a central issue in the next Senate. How will
their plans square up and what will it mean for our hardworking
middle class? We will have a full report tonight.


*Plus, A record number of felons have applied for
Presidential pardons or commutations this year. Will President
Bush consider imprisoned former border patrol agents Ignacio
Ramos and Jose Compean? We will have all of the latest details.

Tuesday’s guests in the Independent Nation include Senator

shouldn’t hand a blank check to Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson
in hopes of fixing things.

Senator BERNIE SANDERS, Independent of Vermont, will share his
ideas for the economy and the plans that need to be implemented
to lift America’s middle class. Also discussing the nation’s
financial predicament will be PAT CHOATE, author of Dangerous
Business: the Risks of Globalization for America.

MarketWatch columnist DAVID WEIDNER will explain why Mr.
Paulson should involve members of Obama’s team in his
policy-making process.

And BILL DONAHUE of the Catholic League will talk to Lou about
a resolution that would require the New York City Department of
Education to amend its holiday display rule to include nativity
scenes.
