Progressive talk show host Leslie Marshall recently spoke with United Steelworkers (USW) International Secretary-Treasurer Stan Johnson about what the “fiscal cliff” - the myths and the realities behind the need for a stronger economy and for the wealthy to pay their fair share.

"Grover Norquist and Republicans need to understand the American voters have spoken. President Obama has a mandate and quite frankly he should use it," said Johnson. "He should use it to reinvigorate the economy, as we have done following every other recession. That's the way out of this economic circumstance."
