Hear Pulitzer prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston and TV critic David Bianculli on this edition of Fresh Air.

David Cay Johnston is an investigative reporter for The New York Times. In his new book, Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You With the Bill), Cay Johnston explores how government subsidies and new regulations have quietly funneled money from the poor and middle class to the rich and politically connected. Cay Johnston's previous book Perfectly Legal was a best-seller.

Then, TV critic David Bianculli discusses the fifth and final season of The Wire. The critically acclaimed HBO series has its season premiere this Sunday. [Broadcast Date: January 3, 2008]
