Summary

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg are glad to see Hertz recognizing reality and dumping 20,000 electric vehicles after seeing higher than expected costs related to repairs and collision damage. And this after Hertz committed to have EV's comprise a quarter of its total fleet by the end of the year.

They also groan as blue states refuse to learn the lesson that higher taxes make people leave for states with better tax policies. Instead, they just jack up tax rates even more to try to compensate for the lost revenues.

Finally, they laugh and shake their heads as Chicago Public Schools lose 77,000 laptops and other devices in one school year at tremendous cost to the taxpayers. And that's just the beginning of the insanity!
