Today’s big story is, of course, President Biden’s student loan forgiveness proposal. We discuss the constitutionality, consequences, and conflicted feelings that libertarian-leaning recipients of unsolicited federal aid can experience—plus, what to do with them (and the extra money). Then the CDC admits to being wrong about natural immunity and decides to get more bureaucratic in order to make itself less bureaucratic. Experts say additional staff, task forces, and taxpayer dollars are needed (seriously). Give it a listen and let’s get fiscal!
