EP273: What Happens if the Most Recent Former President Runs Again? / Thinking Rightly About About Our Personal and National Finances / A LOT MORE

On This Episode: A LISTENER EMAIL ON WHY I'M WRONG ABOUT PERSONAL FINANCES (0:00-13:55) I recently argued that younger folks today struggle financially, IN PART, because of widespread inability to deny themselves the things they want and by thoughtless spending. A listener wrote in and made good arguments about inflation and cost-of-living being the primary driver of financial struggle. Let's find the balance between those two. SHOULD WE BE SPENDING $5 TRILLION DOLLARS WE DON'T HAVE? (13:55-36:18) Along the way in this discussion, we'll look at: -A Biblical worldview on government spending -How to measure the morality of an economic system -That the moderate bi-partisan position is AGAINST a gigantic welfare state spending bill -I'll provide specifics about what's in the $3.5 trillion Welfare State Bill SEVERAL ITEMS (36:18-End) -If the most recent former president runs, I'm asking folks on the right to ask themselves, "why would you do it again? What did you get from that administration that you couldn't get from any generic Republican? -Governor Kathy Hochul gets super weird -The Left hosted an abortion hearing. It was demonic and ugly.
