In this episode, we discuss the ideological work
done by our media's default frame of immigrants, poor seniors,
homeless people, and those with disabilities as "burdens" and
"strains" on our limited resources––namely those provided by the
holy Taxpayer. Meanwhile, skyrocketing police and Pentagon budgets
are just treated as unremarkable laws of nature.
With guest Beatrice Adler-Bolton of the Death Panel
podcast.
