We discuss the legalization of marijuana in New York. We'll cover what's legal, how sales and home cultivation will work, and New York's approach is to rectifying its past over-enforcement of marijuana-related crimes (many of which are, well, no longer crimes).

On the second half of the show we cover what's in the Biden Administrations proposed $1.8 trillion American Families Plan. This comes after the administration's multi-trillion dollar American Rescue Plan and American Jobs Plan. Included in the provision are hundreds of billions of dollars for child care, paid leave, free community college, teacher education, child nutrition, and health care affordability.

We think these massive government spending plans are much needed and long overdue, which is counter to the myopic take by congressional Republicans, such as Tim Scott, that any government action beyond cutting taxes and regulations for the wealthiest individuals and corporations is bad government action.
