Ep. 307 - The Truth About the Immorality of the National Debt

It is time for us to call the national debt what it is. . . IMMORAL!!! 
For over a century, it has only gone up! It is a bi-partisan problem. It is the height of irresponsibility; it is willfully and criminally negligent!
How else would you describe purposely sentencing current and future generations to economic bondage through rising prices, deflated currency, higher taxes and lower growth?
Going forward, we must frame the national debt conversation in terms of morality! Our congressional representatives must be called out for voting for any legislation that increases spending even by one dollar.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

WARNING: What I share with you in this episode is something that, once you see it, you can never unsee it!
Have you ever watched a nightly newscast from an alphabet soup, conspiracy media outlet and really paid close attention? Have you noticed the one-sided nature of their coverage or how they leave out pertinent facts? What about the loaded language and dog whistles?
In this episode, I pick apart a recent broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell pointing out the biases while taking you on a truth quest.

Ep. 202 - The Truth About Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

For years I have argued that our representatives in D.C. are guilty of willful negligence; meaning they deliberately and intentionally pursue policies that are either unconstitutional or they simply refuse to do the right thing.
It wasn't until our current, worthless Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, said the quiet part out loud that I received official confirmation.
The short version is: IT'S ALL BEING DONE ON PURPOSE!!!! ALL OF IT!

Ep. 199 - The Truth About the Baby Formula Shortage

This is the latest example demonstrating how out of control the United States' federal government is. Virtually everything they do is unconstitutional.
It's time to put the federal government back into its limited power sandbox as prescribed by the Constitution. The consequences of not doing such are devastating.

Ep. 175 - The Truth About Stagflation

When Resident Biden came into office, the economy was set for a rebound as it came out of the Covid coma!
All the guy had to do was . . . NOTHING!!! Instead he (or whoever is really running the country) decided to only pursue policies that detrimentally impact the economy. This has resulted in something called "stagflation.”
In this episode we examine what that is, when we last experienced it and what can be done to rectify the situation.

Ep. 154 - The Truth About Modern Monetary Theory

You have probably heard the term Modern Monetary Theory or MMT thrown around recently. It is all the rage with our overlords in Washington, D.C. But what is it?
In this episode we examine the destructiveness of MMT and learn that there is nothing modern about debasing your currency by printing worthless pieces of paper backed by nothing. We also learn that MMT is not a theory but more political propaganda backed by nothing resembling real economics or public policy.
Politicians who endorse it or do not oppose it vigorously are willfully negligent!

Ep. 127 - The Truth About Walter E. Williams

When Walter E. Williams passed away last week, the world lost a giant intellectual, prolific columnist, humorist, economist and preacher of the truth about free markets and the United States Constitution. He was a master communicator with an uncanny ability to make complex topics and theories understandable. Throughout his life, he demonstrated unwavering courage to stand up and tell the truth starting with his challenge of the U.S. Army and President John F. Kennedy over racial discrimination in the military while holding the lowly rank of Private!
He spent decades teaching economics at George Mason University and, along the way, blessed us with volumes of logic and common sense - some of which I share with you in this episode.

Ep. 92 - The Truth About Price Gouging

As I record this episode in late March 2020, the world is living through the Coronavirus crisis. Recently my wife and I were discussing the toilet paper shortage. I explained that the reason there isn't any toilet paper now is because the stores did not raise the price when they saw a surge in demand. She argued that price gouging during a crisis is wrong and immoral. I tried to explain why it is actually a good thing. Full disclosure: She was not convinced. Hopefully you will be after listening.
We discuss some basic economic concepts like: What is a price and how do they fluctuate. Then we dive into the topic at hand - price gouging. This is followed by an examination of pandering politicians and price controls and the morality of price gouging. We wrap up the episode discussing the benefits of price gouging and whether or not these arguments hold up when a crisis is regional versus worldwide.

Ep. 90 - The Truth About Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders has been leading the charge toward socialism his entire life. Within a few weeks of this podcast's publication (at the most a few months), Bernie will be a two-time loser of the Democratic Party's nomination to be President. Despite his failure to secure the nomination, he has laid the foundation for more radical candidates in the future. In this episode, we examine the life of Sanders and the foundation on which he has built his movement.

Ep. 67 - The Truth About Negative Interest Rates

If you follow the financial markets to any extent you have likely heard the term “negative interest rates.” In this episode, we are going to examine this never-before-in-history phenomenon. We are going to discuss the three ways this ridiculous financial policy manifests itself: on individuals, on bank reserves and on bonds and examine merits of this policy. Hint: It ain't good!
