Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden. Happy New Year. I want to welcome you back to the podcast. This is

Who's Paying Attention, Episode 95. We are in 2015, so things are going to change, or maybe not. I don't know. Let's start with the government

because that's always entertaining. The old Congress is out and they just barely avoided being the

So this Congress, I think they're going to be busier because they have to undo all of that.

So what we're looking at, they're going to have to get to work right away. They're going to have to

raise a price of gas, lower the stock market, raise unemployment, get rid of 10 million people's
