Jacki is joined again by Vance Ginn, PhD, who just left the White House last month as one of the top economists at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and who is now at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Vance will explain why we know that economic good times are about to return, and why we should never shut down the economy again. Before shutdown, wealth was increasing three time faster for the bottom half of the income scale than the top, and we can restore this prosperity. Then, Robert Reilly of the Westminster Institute reviews his new book, America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding. Finally, Jim Wright, candidate for the Texas Railroad Commission - arguably the global leader in regulating oil & gas - will explain how U.S. energy can recover from economic shutdown.

Guests: Vance Ginn, Robert Reilly, & Jim Wright
