US Politics Audio: Scott Lucas on the BBC about the Debt Deal

I did several interviews this afternoon about the developing deal in the US over the Federal debt. Questions ranged from "who wins politically?" (answer: Republicans win the battle but Obama probably wins the war, at least for the 2012 Presidential election), "who wins economically?" (answer: nobody --- this is a bad economic "solution" and we are likely to be back at this point in 2013), and "what does it mean for Britain?" (not as much as people might think).

BBC WM: The discussion starts just before the 1:04:00 mark.

BBC Coventry and Warwickshire: The interview begins just before the 37:00 mark.
