Listen "Season 2, Episode 11 - Quote of the week by Thomas Sowell, President Biden's speech on job creation and his budget proposal, a new invasive species, a lesson in economics using beer, and more!"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode, we had so much to talk about that we ran out of time, and the podcast got stopped just as we began this week's taxpayer relief shot. We will cover that truncated item in full during next week's podcast and several other things we teased but needed more time to get to this week.
So what did we have time to cover?
Our quote of the week by Thomas Sowell on why some intelligent people say some foolish things
In the stupidest thing I've heard all week, I'll tell you about a proposal by a Maryland State legislator to raise the minimum age below which someone couldn't be charged with first-degree murder, no matter how heinous that murder was.
In the saddest thing I've heard all week, I'll play a clip by President Biden talking about job creation during his administration and repeatedly referring to and emphasizing those job creation figures as '"Thousands of new jobs" when he should have been saying "millions of new jobs.”
I'll review the President's 2024 budget proposal and tell you why it is, by design, intended to be dead on arrival and about the exploding interest rate debt bomb it contains.
In our "you won't hear this on TV segment,” we'll tell you about:
A new deadly invasive species are multiplying rapidly in the Western hemisphere
Well, tell you, what percentage of the 3,033 counties in the United States account for more than 50% of all homicides in this country? The figure might shock you.
We'll tell you how the police in Louisiana classified the death of a man whose body was found in a ditch wrapped in plastic and an old carpet five days after his disappearance. Hint: The police have not launched a murder investigation
We'll read you a short essay by an economics professor who explains the US tax system using a story about ten drinking buddies and how they decided to split their collective bar tab.
