Richard Morrison and Marc Scribner welcome special guests Sam Kazman and Berin Szoka to episode 99. We start with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and continue with an interview with PFF Senior Fellow Berin Szoka.
We get a fresh recap of the Free State Project’s recent Liberty Forum in Nashua, New Hampshire. John McCain and Richard Shelby say that the government should end the bailouts and let poorly-managed banks go bankrupt, and brewers pin their hopes on robust St. Patrick’s Day sales.
Our hosts take a whiff of the bank nationalizations floating through the air, and say they stink. Senator Chris Dodd’s dodgy dealings in real estate come under scrutiny. While favoring immigration in general, our hosts question the wisdom of “eco-migration.”
We start with the end of the U.S. economy as we have known it: the $790 billion economic stimulus plan and its chilling consequences. The highlight of our program comes with our interview with writer, raconteur and bon vivant around town Jeremy Lott.
After a brief celebration of twenty-five years of Yuri Andropov being dead, we focus on the 900 billion lb. gorilla in the room, the economic stimulus bill making its way through Congress. Alternate references to it as porkulus, the Stimulus to Nowhere and the Mother of All Debts are also acceptable.
