Magical Thinking

from The Rick Smith Show Hosted by Rick Smith

August 7, 2024 For decades now, American conservatives have been plagued by magical thinking. From trickle-down economics to “Mexico is going to pay for the wall” Americans have been fed a steady diet of promises that simply never come true. Yet magical thinking still dominates conservative arguments and pushes Americans farther and farther away from their communities. We discuss this and more with David Dayen of The American Prospect and Lee Hepner of The American Economic Liberties Project.
