In this episode, I welcome back Bob Luddy to give us an update on the current state of the economy. We discuss inflation, Bob's most recent article in The American Spectator, the National Debt, the impact of debt on both an individual's finances and a government's ability to act, and the looming threat of China. Bob does not see the national debt as a partisan issue; both the GOP and DNC are equally unable to reign in fiscal spending.  By the conclusion, Bob gives an update on the growth of Thales Academy and Thales College. 
 
Optimistic Curmudgeons - this is the final episode of Season 4. We'll be back in September with more great interviews! Thank you for your support of this show! I look forward to bringing you more sound analysis to make sense of a confusing world.
