Made in America Panel Says it’s Time to Stop America’s Defeatist Attitude

Neal Asbury began his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America (now on 47 stations) by welcoming Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to the show, and applauding the bold actions he took to turn around Wisconsin’s economy — a model for the rest for the country.
