How America Has Lost Its Way (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

In 2011, longtime New York Times op-ed page columnist Bob Herbert gave up his column and set out across America. He’d written for years from a liberal angle on the nation’s great challenges, great debates. He went out to see the country afresh. First-hand. Not the lords of New York, but the ninety-nine percent. All over the country. And he found trouble. Americans keenly aware of losses. Hurting, and very uncertain about the future, the direction of the country. Now he’s back, with his report.
