Welcome everyone to another regularly scheduled rerun for our rerun today.

I thought we would take a look back at some of the analysis of the economic and tax policies

of the Republicans in general and the Trump budget from last year in particular. As for members,

I think I might have forgotten to tell everyone what our previous bonus episode was about.

So quick, at first glance, it was just a simple listener feedback show, but we actually covered

And boy, I mean, if that's not a reason to join, I don't know what it is. So for access to all of

and make sure that it doesn't happen in the first place. This should be a learning experience,

not just for Kansas, but for all of us.
