Ep. 8 - The Stimulus Bill


Listen Later

1/5/2021 - This one is kind of a myriad of articles that I tie together to explain why the recent stimulus package is awful. We go from a piece on FDR in Foreign Affairs magazine that says the quiet part out loud to a Wall Street Journal piece that criticizes the stimulus. We talk a bit about why it's insane to expect the stimulus bill to help bring back jobs, but it's not a relief bill because it's so poorly targeted.
