Fixing the Housing Crisis ft. Jenny Schuetz Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

How did America's housing crisis get so bad, and what can be done about it? Housing policy expert Jenny Schuetz of the Brookings Institute joins the show to discuss. We chat about how exclusionary zoning makes housing shortages worse, why overly-long approval processes might be an even bigger factor than zoning, and how the political dynamics within different neighborhoods of big cities make it difficult to change policy.

How One Tax Might Make Matters Worse Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Colin Mortimer, the Director of the Center for New Liberalism, is joined by two special guests. First is Adam Hartke, the co-owner of a music venue in Wichita, Kansas, and the co-chair of the advocacy committee at the National Independent Venues Association. We talk about what it has been like to be a music venue owner during this pandemic, suffering the brunt of the economic fallout. Second, PPI's Chief Economic Strategist Michael Mandel comes on to talk about how an obscure tax cut that expires in December might make the recovery for music venues, bars, restaurants, brewers, and others even more difficult than it was already expected to be.

Post-Election Grifting ft. The Grifter Report Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

Jeremiah is joined by the co-hosts of The Grifter Report, Connor Fletcher and Dylan Meisner, to answer key questions in the wake of Donald Trump's loss. Who's out there taking advantage of the 'stolen election' narrative? Which Trump-world stooge is making the most outlandish, insane claims? Who's swindling the most money for doomed 'election integrity' fundraisers? And what on earth is "Blue MAGA"? All this and more as we rank the most impressive post-election grifters.

What are the current deficiencies in the US social safety net? What's the difference between welfare and social insurance? How can we modernize a run-down set of bureaucracies and systems?
