Reopening State Economies, Big-Government Bailouts, and the Drama in Between

States across America are weighing the decision of whether or not to reopen their economies. Some—such as Georgia and Florida—have few restrictions in place now and have allowed businesses to reopen, while others—among them Connecticut and Michigan—continue to limit economic activity. Jessica Anderson, the executive director of Heritage Action for America, the lobbying arm of The Heritage Foundation, and a former member of the Trump administration, joins "Problematic Women” to explain why states should allow Americans to get back to work as soon as possible. Anderson also breaks down the costs of state bailouts and why they would do more harm than good. Melanie Israel, research associate in the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation, also joins the show to share the latest news regarding whether or not abortions should be deemed an "essential" medical procedure during COVID-19. And as always, we will be crowning our Problematic Women of the Week. This weeks Twitter question is: Who is one of your greatest role models or someone who inspires you?
