Does the federal government want lower-class black residents back in New Orleans? If so, where’s their housing? Why are the rebuilding jobs going to Texas laborers working for Texas corporations? Why cut Medicare and Medicaid now, with evacuees already living on the edge? We hear from Roger Hickey, co-director of the Campaign for America's Future, and Bishop Sam Butler, who along with his wife and congregation renovated their former church building into a shelter for New Orleans families.


Also, a medical marijuana spray could change the face of the drug war in the U.S. – but for better or for worse? Angie talks to journalist Gary Greenberg, researcher William Notcutt, and the Marijuana Policy Project's Bruce Mirken. Plus, political satirist Will Durst lays out the Democratic Contract with America, version 2.1.
