Summary

Mark is on vacation! This week, Pastor Jerry Bader steps in to guest host Rational Revolution. It's a topic that's been burning up Green Bay area social media. It's called the "Silent Epidemic:" adult children estranged from their parents. There is now a peer group in Green Bay to support parents: PEACE. Pastor Jerry Bader of Samaritan's Heart Mission Church talks with Brian Briscoe, founder of PLACE, Parents Living After Child Estrangement. They're cutting vital programs like Social Security and Medicaid that Americans have paid into throughout their working lives - not to balance the budget, but to fund tax cuts for corporations and billionaires who don't need the money. As Senator Tammy Baldwin, who joins the show briefly, puts it: "This is like taking it from somebody who paid into Social Security or Medicaid to give Elon Musk a bigger tax break. He doesn't need it." When politicians talk about "necessary cuts," always ask who benefits and who pays the price.
