Why Socialism Keeps Winning Elections Even Though It Fails Every Time — And Why Trump Was Right to Kill the Housing Bill That Would Have Mad

from The Tom Sullivan Show · host Tom Sullivan

Democratic Socialists won more races yesterday and the trend keeps growing. It will keep growing until enough Americans learn what every person who has actually lived under socialism already knows — don't go there. But the reason this is gaining traction is real. People can't afford homes, groceries are crushing budgets, student loans feel inescapable, and capitalism doesn't feel like it's working for a lot of struggling Americans right now. We address both the false solution and the real pain today. And Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing affordability bill — we don't blame him. It wouldn't have lowered housing costs and might have made things worse. We explain why a bad bill is still a bad bill even with bipartisan support.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support.Remember to call with your money and investing questions 855-295-6600 for the Financial Friday podcast. https://www.spreaker.com/show/7102919/episodes/feed
