Why Socialism Fails - In The Tank #548

from Heartland Daily Podcast · host The Heartland Institute, Linnea Lueken, Sam Karnick, Chris Talgo

 Conservatives often point at socialism and more or less leave the argument at "these guys are crazy!" -- But the DSA do point to some real problems, like the cost of medical care, how big companies can run roughshod over ordinary Americans, and that public infrastructure is failing in our cities as well as rural communities. But socialist solutions from Medicare for All to eating the rich will only exacerbate those problems, not solve them. We talk about actual solutions, and why socialism fails.Meanwhile, inflation is falling, which is good, but how long can it last? What should the government do (if anything) to keep inflation down?On UNHINGED: DSA leadership really does hate America, from its very foundation.And for America @ 250, we look at how the London newspapers reacted to the Declaration, and we'll see that politically-driven fake news is not a modern phenomenon.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Chris Talgo, and S.T.
