The U.S. Senate is on the verge of approving President Obama's controversial tax deal with Republicans. Under the deal, Obama agreed to extend the Bush-era tax cut for the wealthiest Americans and reduce the estate tax in return for a 13-month extension of jobless benefits and a handful of tax credits for low- and moderate-income Americans. Democracy Now! speaks to Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist David Cay Johnston, author of the book, "Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill)."
