john nichols of the nation will explain with an exclusive story. "the ed show" on msnbc. -- delivering mail, medicine and packages. yet they're closing thousands of offices, slashing service, and want to lay off over 100,000 workers. the postal service is recording financial losses, but not for reasons you might think. the problem ? a burden no other agency or company bears. a 2006 law that drains 5 billion a year from post-office revenue while the postal service is forced to overpay billions more into federal accounts. congress created this problem, and congress can fix it. but you've got a meat and potatoes guy? pour chunky sirloin burger soup over those mashed potatoes and dinner is served. four minutes, around four bucks. campbell's chunky -- it's amazing what soup can do. and here's what we did today: supported nearly 3 million steady jobs across our country... ... scientists, technicians, engineers, machinists... ... adding nearly 400 billion dollars to our economy... we're at work providing power to almost a quarter of our homes and business

john nichols. great to have you with us.llow the order to expire and speak to the last answer he just gave to that reporter. >> it is a bogus answer, ed. here's the problem. this governor had an order from the previous governor that would have shut down this particular farm, this particular exotic animal situation by about may 1 of 2011. it was all structural. it was all planned. didn't make for an immediate removal. didn't create some sort of crisis situation where ohio department of natural resources folks would have had to rush in. they had time. they could have implemented an order and taken folks out. instead, governor kasich decided not to trust the ohio department of natural resources to be able to implement this thing. it fits with what governors, republican governors across this country have been doing. they don't like the department of natural resources operations because these are the folks who often implement environmental rules, who put regulations on business. there is a tendency to not go along with the dnrs i

what is today the beast that's right in seventeen eighty nine and by the way it typically had to john nichols who first told me about this it capital of the united states and seven hundred eighty nine i actually knew this party for about two hundred twenty three years the capital united states and seven hundred eighty nine was not here in washington d.c. instead it was in new york city and congress convened in a building called federal hall which was located at twenty six wall street right across the way from where the new york stock exchange stands today. right across the way and this afternoon tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of new york city exercising those first amendment rights but they talked about in that bill of rights in the in in amendment number one and marching and protesting against the hijacking and frankly the destruction of our economy by the bankers on wall street but beyond the irony of americans taking to the streets in protest against wall street using that very same first amendment it was and the and the right associated with it was clear that wall
