Japan Disaster Casts Dark Cloud Over Global Economy


Japan is struggling to prevent a full meltdown of reactors at a nuclear plant following Friday's devastating earthquake. A second explosion was heard at the facility in Fukushima Monday. The country is still reeling from last week's damage caused by the massive quake and tsunami, which hit its northeastern region. Host Michel Martin speaks with Wall Street Journal economics reporter Sudeep Reddy about the likely impact of the catastrophe on both the Japanese and global economies. They also discuss creative solutions proposed by Tell Me More's Facebook fans, for reducing the budget deficit in the U-S.
